hangman

[alshidi]

hi guys...

I have to write a programme that plays a game of hangman with following feeatures:

1.the programme start by reading from an input file a list of words and stores them in an array of string.
2.the programme then selects randomly one of the words. the word should appears like *****
3.the programme should includes 3 functions:
a. function to read the list of words.
b. function to find the number of occurrences and locations of a guessed letter
c.test if a game has terminated (6 incorrect guesses attempted).

sample output:

hangman
the word: **
guess a letter: f
not exists
**
guess a letter: h
h exists 1 time in the word
h*
guess a letter: i
i exists 1 time in the word
hi
bravo

play again? (Y/N): N
thank you

I am sorry , I just need some hints.



I modified the following code:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cctype>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	char my_choice;
const int MAX_WRONG = 6;
vector<string> words;
words.push_back("guess");
words.push_back("hangman");
words.push_back("diffecult");

srand(time(0));
random_shuffle( words.begin(), words.end() );
const string THE_WORD = words[0];
int wrong = 0;
string soFar ( THE_WORD.size() , '*' );
string used = " ";

cout << "Hi, let's play hangman.\n";

while ( ( wrong < MAX_WRONG) && ( soFar != THE_WORD ) )
{

cout << "The secret word is:\n"<< soFar << endl;

//Getting the players guess. Here is where the function should start

char guess;
cout<<"Guess a leter: ";
cin>>guess;

while ( used.find(guess) != string::npos )
{

cout<<"Guess a leter: ";
cin>>guess;

}//while 2

used += guess;

if ( THE_WORD.find(guess) != string::npos )
{
cout<<"Letter "<<guess<<" is in the word."<< endl;
for ( int i = 0 ; i < THE_WORD.length() ; ++i )
if ( THE_WORD[i] == guess )
soFar[i] = guess;
}
else
{
cout<<"Letter "<<guess<<" is not part of the secret word."<<endl;
++wrong;
}
}//This is the end of the get the guess part
//Ending the game
if ( wrong == MAX_WRONG)
cout<<"You have been hanged!";
else
cout<<"Bravo! You have guessed the full secret word\n";

return 0;
}//main

but it does not conclude all features!!!

Hmm, I can find the above code in many places all over the internet.

You still don't seem to be getting it. We don't just write code for you, you haven't even asked a question, and your code has next to no indentation. We can tell you how to do small specific parts that you can demonstrate some attempt at writing yourself (not copying other's code), or we can re-explain things at a high level to you.

So you want a hint?: Learn about proper code indentation and apply that knowledge here.

Drop the course would be my suggestion.
