Comparing a String to a Word

m10 (5)
I am trying to make a program where the user can input information about a road trip and the program will tell the user about the cost of the trip. The first part works well. My question is in the second part. I made an array and would like to stop inputting once the array is full (at 100 entries) OR when the user enters a key word. I tried telling it to quit when the array is full or when the string equals the key word, but it is giving me an error saying that I can't compare the two. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry, It gave me an error while posing the first time so I assumed it hadn't
