C programming language :if statements are not working correctly with characters

Question

I'm trying to make this program say good but it says okay instead though I made the variable value the same of the if test value

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    char history[200];
    history == "NY school";

    if(history == "NY school")
    {
        printf("good");
    }
    else{printf("okay");}
    return 0;
}

Answer 1

This should work for you:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
        //^^^^^^^^ Don't forget to include this library for the 2 functions

int main() {  

    char history[200];
    strcpy(history, "NY school");
  //^^^^^^^Copies the string into the variable
    if(strcmp(history, "NY school") == 0) {
     //^^^^^^ Checks that they aren't different
        printf("good");
    } else {
        printf("okay");
    }

    return 0;

}
