You used single quotes around a string instead of double:
'Wrong'
"Right"

When you use single qoutes, it is treated as a value (a number).
You can do something like the following:

char h[] = "Hello World";	a string

if *(DWORD*)h == 'Hell' )  a double word unsigned integer
You can use 1, 2 or 4 chars in a 'value' expression.
