C++ Program/Source code

Here is the source code of C++ Program to Compare Two Given Strings for Equality. The program output is shown below.

```
#include<iostream.h>
```
```
#include<string.h>
```
```
using namespace std;
```
```
int main ()
```
```
{
```
```

```
    gets(str1);
```
```
    cout<<"Enter string 2 : ";
```
```
    gets(str2);
```
```
    if(strcmp(str1, str2)==0)
```
```
        cout << "Strings are equal!";
```
```
    else
```

        cout << "Strings are not equal.";

```
    return 0;
```
```
}
```

Program Explanation

1. The user is asked to enter two strings and stored in ‘str1’ and ‘str2’.
2. Using an inbuilt function strcmp() under the library string.h, the two strings are compared for equality.
