    little problem

    hi
    i'm making a console hangman game
    my problem is that i cant show the results after each user input

    anyone know how this is done?



    Code:
    #include <string>
    #include <memory.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    
    
    int main()
    {
    
    char string[30]="program";
    char *pointer1=string;
    char temp[30]="       \0";
    char *pointer2=temp;
    char ansver;
    
     for(cin>>ansver;ansver!='q';cin>>ansver)
    
     for(int i=0;i<strlen(string);i++)
     {
    
     if(pointer1[i]==ansver)
     {
      pointer2[i]=pointer1[i];
      }
     }
    
    
     cout<<"result:  "<<temp; // if i would try this up in the loop
                                             //it would just show the result several 
                                             //times 
    
      system("pause");
      return 0;
      }

    it looks like you only accept one letter for the entire app. looks like you need to put this whole thing inside a big loop where you accept a bunch of letters.

    Why make your code so inefficent and complicated when all your doing is getting performing simple input and output commands.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    #define STR_LEN 30
    
    int main()
    {
      char InString[STR_LEN];
    
      printf("Please enter something: ");
      gets(InString);
    
      printf("You entered: %s", InString);
    
      getchar();
      return 0;
    }

    oh jeez I see what you did. You did make an input loop but didn't include the cout in the loop. One word.... brackets

    ****

    the reason i send the code was that YOU people would be able to compile and run it for your selves and not come with some
    stupid replies whitout even having a look at the code

    and subdene u really think that was what i wanted to achieve?

    I have know idea what you were really trying to achieve, unless you wanted some practice with pointers. It just seemed to me that you were over complicating the problem...... chill.
