I'm trying to run this comparator:
if (std::find(movements->begin(), movements->end(), commandBuffer) != movements->end())
with:
const std::string movements[8] = {"north", "south", "east", "west", "n", "s", "e", "w"};
where commandBuffer is a std::string.
On MinGW32 9.2.0, I get the following:
error: no match for 'operator==' (operand types are 'const char' and 'const std::__cxx11::basic_string')
Either use std::cbegin and std::cend, or change your array into a std::array:
std::array<const std::string, 8> movements = {"north", "south", "east", "west", "n", "s", "e", "w"};
const std::string commandBuffer = "north";
if (std::find(movements.begin(), movements.end(), commandBuffer) != movements.end())
std::cout << "Found!" << std::endl;
movements is a pointer to the array of strings, basically:
const std::string* movements;
movements->begin() is then equal to (movements[0]).begin() and points to the first character of the first string, not the string itself. So you are iterating over the characters of the first string.
To iterate over the array of strings instead
use begin(movemens), end(movements).
If you were used std::vector<string> movements or std::array<string, N>, your code would work also.
