Hello and thank you everyone reading this, I am having a problem when I try to compile this code:

C++

#include "stdafx.h"
 
#define password "ajay"
 
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
char pwd[100];
printf("Please enter the password::nn");
scanf("%s", pwd);
if ( strcmp(pwd, password) == 0 )
{
printf("Congratulation!!nn");
printf("Ready to login with: %s",password);
}
else
{
printf("Wrong password");
}
getch();
return 0;
}

This the errors I get in Visual Studio Pro 2008:

error C3861: 'strcmp': identifier not found	c:\users\****\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\binarycrack\binarycrack\binarycrack.cpp	line - 13
&
error C3861: 'getch': identifier not found	c:\users\****\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\binarycrack\binarycrack\binarycrack.cpp	line - 22

It seems you missing some includes...
Can you show your stdafx.h?

// stdafx.h : include file for standard system include files,
// or project specific include files that are used frequently, but
// are changed infrequently
//

#pragma once

#include "targetver.h"

#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>

// TODO: reference additional headers your program requires here

Than see Solution 1...

So next time could I just add string.h and conio.h to that stdafx.h? or do I always have to include them in my source?

Common headers include always in stdafx.h - that's the purpose of it...

You need to include string.h and conio.h

Solution 1

Include "stdio.h" and "conio.h" by adding the following lines to "stdafx.h":

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

If you already included the file and still getting the problem, add those lines in your "binarycrack.cpp" under the line '#include "stdafx.h"'.
