        I have + as an input arguement via *argv[] and whenever I try to
compare its value it comes out as a 0.  For instance...  If I compile a
program like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

void main(int argc, char *argv[])

{

        And I type "test +" (I would name the file test) it would just print a
equals 0.  Any help would be appereciated...
char a = argv[1];
if (a = '+') printf("a equals +");
if (a = '0') printf("a equals '0'");
if (a = 0) printf("a equals 0");
}
