[C++] - strange things:(

Code:

---

int main()
{       
        char name[255];
        while (name !="exit")
        {
                std::cout<< "Insert your name:\n";
                std::cin>>name;
                std::cout<< "Hi "<<name<<"\n";
                std::cin>>name;       
                std::cout<<name;
        }
        return 0;
}

---

why these code takes very time to open the exe?
why when i type "exit", the program don't close it?
(only with me these stupid errors:()

Comparing name and "exit" will only compare the pointers, there will be no string comparison. Take a look at strcmp

still not working:(

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
        char name[255];
        do
        {       
                cout<< "Insert your name:\n";
                cin>>name;
                cout<< "Hi "<<name<<"\n";
                cin>>name;       
        }
        while (strcmp (name, "exit")==false);
       
        return 0;
}

---

anotherthing: now the 'std::' was give me an error, that's why i delete... strange

ok.. now works fine;

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
        char name[255];       
        do
        {       
                system("cls");
                cout<< "Insert your name:\n";
                cin>>name;
                cout<< "Hi "<<name<<"\n";       
                cin>>name;               
        }
        while (strcmp (name, "exit")!=0);       
        return 0;
}

but why takes time to open(in IDE: Visual C ++ 6))?

Do you mean it takes a long period of time to open the project, or to run the project?
If it is the latter, I would suggest you look in the output-window of the build process. What is happening when its being slow?

when i change the code and click in '!'(build command), the IDE takes very time to open the new exe. but after these, if i click again, don't happens:(
is about being windows 7?
(the output-window seems ok. after saying 'Linking...', it takes 1 minute or 2 for open the exe)

anotherthing: if i do these(take off the loop):

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;

int  main()
{
        char name[255];
        //do
        //{
                system("cls");
                cout<<"Insert your name.\n";
                cin>> name;
                cout<< "Your name is: " << name << "\n";
                cin>>name;
        //}
        //while(strcmp(name,"exit")!=0) ;
        return 0;
}

the program executes(in IDE) much more faster(normal speed).
so??? it's my system(windows 7 for the Visual C++6) or otherthing?
