Linux compile issue

EdWar82 (43)
I've created my code in Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 and it compiles and runs fine. I've moved this over to Linux and had compile errors. To fix it, I had to add in #include <cstring> on my student.h file and it compiles fine. However now it does not give me the correct input. Is there a difference between the strcmp and strncpy in Linux? Or am I missing a step to make it work on Linux?

This seems like a good question but in order to get better feedback you should move this file to the LINUX/UNIX questions instead of the beginners questions that way you and others can get help

isLessThanByID() returns true if the ID of this has a greater lexicographical ordering than the parameter.
