Question

Can you compare two strings simply by putting string1==string2?

void ex_file_licensing::compare_license(const std::string &reference,
                                        const std::string &result)
{
    if (reference == result)
        cout << "It's the same" << endl;
    else 
        cout << "It's diffrent" << endl;
    return;
}

If yes will this code work properly or should I make some modifications.

Thanks everyone

It depends on what notion of string equality you want to test for. If you want to check if the contents are byte-to-byte identical, then yes, it’s the right way to test if the strings are equal.
