why it does not enter the if statement?

[Ala]

I have a code made to check an if statement and then perform something. here is the if statement

for(int j=0;j<10;j++)
{
 if(removed_Num==USERS[j])
 { //do something}
}

USERS[j] is a 13 element array and removed_Num is also a 13 element array. I've check in the debug mode and saw USERS[j] is equal with removed_Num. but it doesn't enter the if statement. why is that?

As described that isn't how C works.

The comparison here is of the address of an array vs the element in a second array. You basically ask it to compare apples and oranges, which usually they don't.​

so what's the right way to do it?

Clive1 is right.

If you compare two array with all indexes, you need select index one by one and compare them.

​

I wrote a example,

1. Int Issamearray;
2. for(int j=0;j<10;j++)
3. {
4. Issamearray = false;
5. if(removed_Num[j] ==USERS[j])
6. { Issamearray = True;}
7. }
8. If (Issamearray == True)
9. {
10. //do something}
11. } ​

​Not; if you make this with while not for, it can will work faster.

I hope you understand clearly.
