If you bothered to look at the post, you'd see that he didn't use a char in 
the comparison. Nor did he use a C style string (char *). He instead used a 
C++ string class, which does support the == operator to another string for 
evaluation.

So to finally kill this thread...

If you are programming in C you'd use:

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

int main()
{
   char Name[5];

   puts("What is your name??");

   fgets(Name, 5, stdin);

   if(!strcmp(Name, "John") || !strcmp(Name, "john")
      || !strcmp(Name, "JOHN"))
   {
      puts("Hello John.");
   }
   else
      puts("Your name isn't John, go away.");

   return 0;
}


If you are using C++ use:

int main()
{
   string Name;

   cout << "What is your name??" << endl;

   cin >> Name;

   if((Name == "John") || (Name == "JOHN") || (Name == "john"))
   {
      cout << "Hello John" << endl;
   }
   else
      cout << "Your name isn't John, go away. << endl;

   return 0;
}
