C++ IF OR statement not working correctly

I have been recently learning C++, and I have started a small project, so that I do not get bored after school.

I am creating a program that takes command arguments, and throws a "USAGE" message if it isn't formatted correctly.

Here is my code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
    if ( argc != 3 )
    {
        cout << "USAGE: " << argv[0] << " <-f/-c> <integer value>" << endl;
        return 1;
    }
    else
    {
        if ( argv[1] == "-f" || argv[1] == "-F" )
        {

        }
        else if ( argv[1] == "-c" || argv[1] == "-C" )
        {

        }
        else
        {
            cout << "USAGE: " << argv[0] << " <-f/-c> <integer value>" << endl;
            return 1;
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

but for some reason, whatever I type in throws a "USAGE" message.

If anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, that would be fantastic!
