C++ Newbie - "char matching"

[Samppa-vaa]

Right, I'm new to C++, and I've been having trouble with the following code.
A dumbed down version (especially the if bracket):

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    char name1[256], name2[256];

    cout << "What is your name? "; gets(name1);

    cout << "\nWelcome "<< name1 <<endl;
    cin.get();

    cout << "\nPlease insert your name: ";
    cin.getline ( name2, 256 );
    cin.get();
    
    if ( name1 == name2  ) {
    cout << "\nHi!";
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}
    else {
    cout << "\nBye.";
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

The part I'm having trouble with is the if bracket. How would I code that if name1 matches name2 it'd say "Hi", and if they didn't match, it'd say "Bye". I've been having trouble with that for the last couple of days. :/
