Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char name[20];
char ser[20];
cin>> name;
cin>> ser;
if (ser == name)
{
cout<<"win\n";

use strings instead of char's

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
string str;
string str2;

cin >> str;
cin >> str2;

if (str == str2)
{
cout << "Win!\n";
}
else if (str != str2)
{
cout << "Lose!\n";
}

system("pause");
return 0;
}

works fine

Edit:

btw, u forgot to make hte text after ur script yellow Wink

A character array is a pointer to an allocation in memory starting with the first letter and ending with a \0 character. Your comparing the memory addresses not the actual strings.

Either do what lurc suggested, or compare them letter for letter.
