Question
This code is used for a second grade class that is playing the hangman game on the computer. I need my code to give t0 chances to guess the right 5-letter word before the game is over. Can I get some assistance?
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
//declare variables
string origWord = "";
string letter = "";
char dashReplaced = 'N';
char gameOver = 'N';
int numIncorrect = 0;
string displayWord = "-----";
//get original word
do //begin loop
{
cout << "Enter a 5-letter word in uppercase: ";
getline(cin, origWord);
} while (origWord. length() != 5);
//clear the screen
system ("cls");
//start guessing
cout << "Guess this word: " <<
displayWord << endl;
while (gameOver == 'N')
{
cout << "Enter an uppercase letter: ";
cin >> letter;
//search for the letter in the original word
for (int x = 0; x < 5; x += 1)
{
//if the current character matches
//the letter, replace and corresponding
//dash in the displayWord variable and then
//set the dashReplaced variable to 'Y'
if (origWord.substr(x, 1) == letter)
{
displayWord.replace(x, 1, letter);
dashReplaced = 'Y';
} //end if
} //end for
//if a dash was replaced, check whether the
//displayWord variable contains any dashes
if (dashReplaced == 'Y')
{
//if the displayWord variable does not
//contain any dashes, the game is over
if (displayWord.find("-", 0) == -1)
{
gameOver = 'Y';
cout << endl << "Yes, the word is "
<< origWord << endl;
cout << "Great guessing!" << endl;
}
else //otherwise, continue guessing
{
cout << endl << "Guess this word: "
<< displayWord << endl;
dashReplaced = 'N';
} //end if
}
else //processed when dashReplaced contains 'N'
{
//add 1 to the number of incorrect guesses
numIncorrect += 1;
//if the number of incorrect guesses is 10,
//the game is over
if (numIncorrect == 10)
{
gameOver = 'Y';
cout << endl << "Sorry, the word is "
<< origWord << endl;
} //end if
//end if
} //end while
