+Using iteration(for & while loop) :
+
+    To store paths use string as data type
+    Use for or while loop and compare each character of them one by one.
+
+Syntax:
+
+while(path1[i] != '\0' || path2[i] != '\0'){
+    //compare the character
+    //increment value of i
+}
+
+OR
+
+for(int i = 0; path1[i] != '\0' || path2[i] != '\0'; i++){
+    //compare the character
+}
+
+Below is the implementation of the above approach:
+
+// C++ Program to Compare Paths of Two Files
+// using for loop
+ 
+#include <iostream>
+using namespace std;
+ 
+// function to compare two paths
+void pathCompare(string p1, string p2)
+{
+    // for loop to compare the paths
+    for (int i = 0; p1[i] != '\0' || p2[i] != '\0'; i++) {
+        // compare the character
+        if (p1[i] != p2[i]) {
+            cout << p1 << " is not equal to " << p2 << endl;
+            return;
+        }
+    }
+    cout << p1 << " is equal to " << p2 << endl;
+}
+ 
+// Driver code
+int main()
+{
+    string p1 = "/a/b/c";
+    string p2 = "/a/b/";
+    string p3 = "/a/b";
+    string p4 = "/a/b";
+    string p5 = "/a/b";
+    string p6 = "/a/b.";
+    pathCompare(p1, p2); // function call
+    pathCompare(p3, p4); // function call
+    pathCompare(p5, p6); // function call
+    return 0;
+}
+ 
+// This code is contributed by Susobhan Akhuli
+Output
+
+/a/b/c is not equal to /a/b/
+/a/b is equal to /a/b
+/a/b is not equal to /a/b.
