Searching through char array - c++

Question

In CPP file #1, I'm trying to loop through the array to see if any of the inputed names match Mordor or the_Vale (from CPP file #2 towards the bottom), however my loop is not working and I only know how to loop through a string array, not a char
#Header File#
#ifndef KINGDOM_H
#define KINGDOM_H
namespace westeros
{
class Kingdom
{
public: //Makes this class public to the rest of the code
char m_name[32];
int m_population;
int count = 0;
};
void display(Kingdom&);
void display(Kingdom* k, int x);
void display(Kingdom* k, int x, int z);
void display(Kingdom* k, int x, char foo[]);
}
#endif
#CPP FIle #1#
#include <iostream>
#include "kingdom.h"
void display(Kingdom* k, int x, char foo[])
{
int a = 0;
int found = 0;
cout << "Searching for kingdom " << foo << " in Westeros" << endl;
for (a; a < x; a++)
{
if (k[a].m_name == foo)
//(strcmp(k[a].m_name) == 0)//Not working
{
cout << k[a].m_name << ", population " << k[a].m_population << endl;
found = 1;
}
}
if (found == 0)
{
cout << foo << " is not part of Westeros." << endl;
}
}
}
## CPP File (main) #2##
#include <iostream>
#include "kingdom.h"
using namespace std;
using namespace westeros;
int main(void)
{
int count = 0; // the number of kingdoms in the array
// TODO: declare the kingdoms pointer here (don't forget to initialize it)
Kingdom* pKingdoms = nullptr;
cout << "==========" << endl
<< "Input data" << endl
<< "==========" << endl
<< "Enter the number of kingdoms: ";
cin >> count;
cin.ignore();
pKingdoms = new Kingdom[count];
for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
{
// TODO: add code to accept user input for the kingdoms array
int x = 0;
x++;
cout << "Enter the name for kingdom #" << x + i << ": ";
cin >> pKingdoms[i].m_name;
cout << "Enter the number people living in " << pKingdoms[i].m_name << ": ";
cin >> pKingdoms[i].m_population;
}
cout << "==========" << endl << endl;
// testing that "display(...)" works
cout << "------------------------------" << endl
<< "The first kingdom of Westeros" << endl
<< "------------------------------" << endl;
display(pKingdoms[0]);
cout << "------------------------------" << endl << endl;
// This is where I am having the problem
display(pKingdoms, count, "Mordor");
cout << endl;
display(pKingdoms, count, "The_Vale");
cout << endl;
cout << endl;
delete[] pKingdoms;
pKingdoms = nullptr;
return 0;
}

if (k[a].m_name == foo)
This is not how you compare two C-Style strings. This only compares the pointers, which should result in false almost certainly. You could use strcmp (#include <string.h>):
if (!strcmp(k[a].m_name, foo))
A better way, though, since you're programming in C++, use std::string:
std::string m_name;
and the comparison would have worked flawlessly.
