Something that has always annoyed me about managed C++ is not having the ability to compare strings like


String^ c = "this";

String^ d = "that";


if (c == d) {}

instead you have to use code like


String^ c = "this";

String^ d = "that";


if (String::Compare(c,d) == 0) {

....

}

Why is this? And why does 0 equal true? hasn't 1 always been the value that equals true? Why did they have to change the entire language. It doesn't even resemble ANSI C++.

Not sure why they changed it like that but it annoys me as well. True is now 0 because anything other than 0 is false. That means it can be -12000 or 100 to be false.
