<div>
you don't need strncmp for that.<br />
<br />
<br />
array+middle is a perfectly valid string (e.g. if array == &quot;the super_player&quot;, array+4==&quot;super_player&quot;)<br />
so in fact you can use<br />
<br />
strcmp(array+middle, target)<br />

<div>
strcmp does not work for my case cause the array has fixed-length record of playername<br />
<br />
like <br />
array ={superman--ultraman--hero<wbr />------ands<wbr />oon---}<br />
- stands for space<br />

Yeah, you are right. <br />
I should do that.

HI <br />
<br />
I am experiencing problem with following statement<br />
int comp = strncmp((array+middle),tar<wbr />get,strlen<wbr />(target));<wbr /><br />
<br />
I am trying to compare the target (player name) with the player name at array+middle position<br />
However, by using strncmp, I do not get expected result because of 'strlen(target)'<br />
<br />
For instance,<br />
<br />
array+middle &nbsp;--&gt; super_player<br />
target --&gt; su<br />
<br />
this two are not same but in fact the statement return 0 since I am only comparing su with super_player<br />
<br />
I am wondering how can I compare su with the entire &quot;super_player&quot; instead of su<br />
<br />
This statement is for comparison in my &nbsp;binary search statement.

HI 

I am experiencing problem with following statement

For instance,

array+middle  --> super_player

I am wondering how can I compare su with the entire "super_player" instead of su

strncmp

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
