Question

Hangman. Write an interactive program that plays a game of hangman. Sore the word to be guessed in a string called word. The program should terminate when either all letters have been guessed correctly (the player wins) or a specified number of incorrect guesses have been made (the computer wins). Hint: Use an array or string called, guessed, to keep track of the solution so far. Initialize all elements of guessed to the '*' symbol. Each time a letter in word is guessed, replace the corresponding '*' in guessed with that letter.

Explanation / Answer

please rate - thanks

you didn't say where the word comes from, so create a file with many words in it.

when the program asks enter that file and it will randomly choose a word from that list

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