C programming: is there a way to scan the contents of an array?

Question

is there any command in C that scans elements in an array to find a certain string? i have a student records program im working on that has last names and marks of an imaginary class. i want to have an option to type in the students last name and change their mark. id have a pretty good idea if there were some kind of command that can read the contents of an array? thanks.

Answer 1

yeah, it's called a for loop.

Answer 2

Use the "strstr()" call in string.h.

Good luck.

Answer 3

C only has a couple comparison methods that you can use strcmp and memcmp.
