below code gives “Not found” output. But I expect it to donate “found”. Where is my mistake?
#include <stdio.h>void compare(char *x, char *face);int i;int main(void){char array[5]="Two";char *numbers[4]={"One", "Two", "Three", "Four"};compare(array, *numbers);}void compare(char *x, char *y){for (i = 0; i < 4; i++){ if (*x==y[i]) { printf("\n found"); return; }}printf("\n not found\n");}In *x==y[i] you are comparing the value of two chars instead of the data pointed to by two pointers. Use the strcmp function instead. It returns 0 if the two strings pointed to by the given two pointers are equal. So alter it to strcmp(x, y[i]) == 0
Also you should alter the char *y parameter to char **y or char *y[] because y is an array of pointers to strings, not just one pointer.
Finally, compare(array, *numbers); should be called as compare(array, numbers); because you want to pass a pointer to the array of strings, not just a pointer to one string (numbers is of type char*[4] yet it will decay to type char** when passed as an argument).
