What is the best way to compare strings in c++

I've done something along the times of

char stringa[10];
char stringb[10] = "pick";

cout << "Enter code";

cin >> stringa;

if (stringa == stringb)
{
cout << "Match!";
}
else
{
cout << "No Match!";
}


but no matter what, it's always a no match. Now, obviously this isn't the entire code, and is without formatting, but the meat of the matter is there.


any suggestions?
