Question

Create a c++ program for hangman. Every time the user enters a wrong letter, it should draw part of the man. If they enter it correctly, it should change the dashes into whatever character they guessed correctly.

CODE TEXT

#include<iostream>

#include<vector>

using namespace std;

void printDashes(vector<char> dashes){

    for(int i=0;i<dashes.size();i++){

        cout<<" "<<dashes[i];

    }

    cout<<endl;

}

bool guess(vector<char> &dashes, string word){

    char ch;

    cout<<"\nEnter a letter to guess : ";

    cin>>ch;

    if(ch>='a' && ch<= 'z'){

        bool flag = false;

        for(int i=0;i<word.length();i++){

            if(word[i] == ch){

                dashes[i] = ch;

                flag = true;

            }

        }

        return flag;

    }

    return false;

}

bool checkWin(vector<char> dashes){

    for(int i=0;i<dashes.size(); i++){

        if(dashes[i]=='_'){

            return false;

        }

    }

    return true;

}

int main(){

    int lives = 3;

    bool isGuess = false;

    string word = "hello";

    vector<char> guessArray;

    for(int i=0;i<word.length();i++){

        guessArray.push_back('_');

    }

    while(lives && !isGuess){

        printDashes(guessArray);

        if(guess(guessArray, word)){

            cout<<"\nYou guessed correct letter. Lives remaining : "<<lives<<endl;

        }else{

            lives--;

            cout<<"\nWrong guess: Lives remaining : "<<lives<<endl;

        }

        if(checkWin(guessArray)){

            isGuess = true;

        }

    }

    if(isGuess){

        cout<<"\nYou guessed it right !!"<<endl;

    }else {

        cout<<"\nYou were unable to guess"<<endl;

    }

}

OUTPUT :

Correct guess:

Wrong guess:

Above is a hangman word guessing game. I didn't understand the draw part of the man.

In this program you can edit the word variable to set it to any word in lowercase. Lives variable can be edit to set to it provide any lives in this program. Program is made using modular approach with using functions for better understanding and clean code.
