Thread: Assignment Help (II)

Ok so I've done some tinkering and most of the issues lie in the draw function. Here's what i've done.. sorry if it offends your expert eyes haha

Code:

#include <stdio.h>#include <string.h>


int draw_guess(int length, char guess, char word[]) //the function draws the unguessed letters (dashes) and updates it when guessed correctly
{
    //Draws the dashes
    int i, startup;
    char display[7];
    
    if(startup != 1)
        startup = 0;


    //Updates the dashes with the properly guessed letters 
    if((startup = 1))//only goes after the initial dashes are printed
    {   
        for(i=0; i<length; i++)
        {
            if(word[i] == guess)
            {
                display[i] = guess;
                
                printf("%s", display[i]);
            }
            
            else return 1; //if an incorrect letter is guessed, the function returns 1
    }


    else//this is just to print the initial dashes
    {
        for(i=0; i<length; i=i+)
        {
            display[i] = 'i';
            
            printf("%s", display[i]);
        }
    }
    startup = 1;
    
}

Since each possibility needs a return value, but I only care about when it is false, would just assigning a different return value change what the "correct guess" part of the assignment displays?

My compiler is giving some warnings that I dont quite understand either..

A syntax error in line 30 before the ) token

both printf("%s blah blah) parts come up saying argument is not a pointer

line 37 type defaults to "int" in declaration of startup
