Cannot compare pointers to strings?

dE_logics

After compiling the code below, GCC says that you can't compare a pointer to string by iso C++ standards.

But I don't see a pointer anywhere (I don't know pointers for now...did it long ago, now forgot)...may be it has to do with the fact that arrays are called by reference.

Code:

char convert(unsigned char input[]);
main()
{
	unsigned char input[1000];
	convert(input);
}
char convert (unsigned char input[])
{
	int i;
	if(input[0] == " ");
}

Code:

if(input[0] == " ");

input[0] has type unsigned char&.
" " has type const char*.

You meant ' ' which has type char.

Oh...damn...I meant single quotes. :P
