Question

I have code if this problem but i am not getting right output. Please i need help with right coding and right output.

Here is my code:

#include<iostream>
#include<string> /* Change header file string.h to string */
#include<cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string origWord="";
    string letter="";
    char dashReplaced='N';
    char gameOver='N';
    int numIncorrect=0;
    bool checkLetter[26] = {0};                   //Array to check if a letter is entered or not
    string displayWord="-----";

    //get original word
    while(origWord.length()!=5)
    {
       cout<< "Enter a 5-letter word in uppercase: ";
       getline(cin,origWord);
    } //end while

    //system("CLS"); //clear screen

    //start guessing

    cout << endl << "Guess this word: "<< displayWord<<endl;

    while(gameOver=='N')
    {
        /* Initialize dashReplaced to N at each iteration */
        dashReplaced = 'N';

        cout << endl << "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 the 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 another dash

        if(dashReplaced=='Y')
        {
            //if the displayWord variable does not contain any dashes
            //the game is over

            int index = letter[0] - 'A';
            checkLetter[index] = 1;

            if(displayWord.find("-",0)==-1)
            {
               gameOver='Y';
               cout<<endl<<"Yes, the word is "<<origWord<<endl;
               cout<<"Great guessing!"<<endl;

            }
            else //otherwise continue guessing
            {
               cout << "Correct letter guessed !" << endl;
               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

            int index = letter[0] - 'A';
            if(checkLetter[index] == 1)
            {
                cout << "Letter already entered ! Please enter a different letter." << endl;
                continue;
            }

            checkLetter[index] = 1;
            cout << "Wrong guess, " << 9 - numIncorrect << " tries remaining." << endl;

            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;
               break;
            } //end if

            cout<<endl<<"Guess this word: "<<displayWord<<endl;

rings a new proj 31 n this exercise, you modify the program from Lab 13-2. If necessary, create a new, create ect named Advanced Project and it in the from the cpp file Copy the C++ source file named file. Change the filename in the first Modify the pro into the letters by the If the user enters a letter that gram so that it keeps track of appropriate message, and do not include the let he or she has already display an run the Test the program ter in the number of incorrect guesses. Save and then program. appropriately. from ADVANCED Exercise 31. If necessary

Explanation / Answer

Your code was almost correct, it was not working for correctly guessed letter, I have made chnages so that it works.

#include<iostream>
#include<string> /* Change header file string.h to string */
#include<cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string origWord="";
string letter="";
char dashReplaced='N';
char gameOver='N';
int numIncorrect=0;
bool checkLetter[26] = {0}; //Array to check if a letter is entered or not
string displayWord="-----";
//get original word
while(origWord.length()!=5)
{
cout<< "Enter a 5-letter word in uppercase: ";
getline(cin,origWord);
} //end while
//system("CLS"); //clear screen
//start guessing
cout << endl << "Guess this word: "<< displayWord<<endl;
while(gameOver=='N')
{
/* Initialize dashReplaced to N at each iteration */
dashReplaced = 'N';
cout << endl << "Enter an uppercase letter: ";
cin>>letter;
//add 1 to the number of incorrect guesses
int index = letter[0] - 'A';
if(checkLetter[index] == 1)
{
cout << "Letter already entered ! Please enter a different letter." << endl;
continue;
}
checkLetter[index] = 1;
  
//search for the letter in the original word
for(int x=0;x<5;x+=1)
{
//if the current character matches
//the letter, replace the 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 another dash
if(dashReplaced=='Y')
{
//if the displayWord variable does not contain any dashes
//the game is over
int index = letter[0] - 'A';
checkLetter[index] = 1;
if(displayWord.find("-",0)==-1)
{
gameOver='Y';
cout<<endl<<"Yes, the word is "<<origWord<<endl;
cout<<"Great guessing!"<<endl;
}
else //otherwise continue guessing
{
cout << "Correct letter guessed !" << endl;
cout << endl << "Guess this word: "<<displayWord<<endl;
dashReplaced='N';
} //end if
}
else //processed when dashReplaced contains 'N'
{
cout << "Wrong guess, " << 9 - numIncorrect << " tries remaining." << endl;
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;
break;
} //end if
cout<<endl<<"Guess this word: "<<displayWord<<endl;
} //end if
} //end while
return 0;
} //end of main function
