Comparing Strings

I have two arrays of strings,
example:
x = {'a' 'b' 'c'}
y = {'b' 'c' 'a'}
If I try to compare the first string in x, x(1), to the
first in y, y(1), I get an error:
x(1) == y(1)
??? Undefined function or method 'eq' for input arguments
of type 'cell'.

How can I compare two strings so that MatLab returns 1 if
they are the same or 0 if they're different.

Thanks
Ben
