C++ string.compare???

i do not for the life of me understand how this string variable works in c++.

i'd rather do this using a regular char array and strcmp functions but i'm trying to help a friend with his c++ home work and i cannot get this to work. i don't usually code c++ but i didn't think it would be that much different from c...

biggest issues are using .compare with the string because i know i can store the entered string like this.

also if i uncomment the goto line it will get stuck in an endless loop if i enter any dots and lines, which is very weird. entering abc doesn't do it but entering morse code with dots, lines and white spaces causes the program to just go around and round displaying all the menus but automatically entering the dots and looping away. what's wrong with dots?

She was probably picking up her Russian mail-order husband. Chicks love seeing their home town, meeting their family, etc. before they leave. Defeats the whole purpose of mail-ordering if you ask me.

Now that you brought it up, I don't remember seeing black women here. Black man I see all the time, but no black women. Huh.

if(str1.equals(str2)){
   System.out.println("JAVA WAS HERE, SEPPLES IS NOT ENTERPRISE ENOUGH");
}

You can just compare c++ strings using "==".
