HANGMAN PROGRAM DEFINITION: To write a program code for Hangman (A word guessing game) in C++.

PROGRAM ANALYSIS: The player is given maximum of five chances to guess the name of a country. The player is given one among 10 countries to guess. random() is used for this purpose. The letters to be guessed are represented by *.The player now enters the letter .The game continues till he guesses the complete word or he loses all his chances. The player is given a maximum of 5 chances to guess incorrectly. For this iteration statement has been used.2 functions are created to initialise the word and replace the * with the correct guesses.

PROGAM CODE: #include <iostream.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <conio.h> const int MAXLENGTH=80; const int MAX_TRIES=5; int letterFill (char, char[], char[]); void initUnknown (char[], char[]); int main () { char unknown [MAXLENGTH]; char letter; int num_of_wrong_guesses=0; char word[MAXLENGTH]; char words[][MAXLENGTH] = { "india", "pakistan", "nepal", "malaysia", "philippines", "australia", "iran", "ethiopia", "oman", "indonesia" }; randomize(); int n=random(10); strcpy(word,words[n]);

initUnknown(word, unknown); cout << "\n\nWelcome to hangman...Guess a country Name"; cout << "\n\nEach letter is represented by a star."; cout << "\n\nYou have to type only one letter in one try"; cout << "\n\nYou have " << MAX_TRIES << " tries to try and guess the word."; while (num_of_wrong_guesses < MAX_TRIES) { cout << "\n\n" << unknown; cout << "\n\nGuess a letter: "; cin >> letter;

if (letterFill(letter, word, unknown)==0) { cout << endl << "That letter isn't in there!" << endl; num_of_wrong_guesses++; } else { cout << endl << "You found a letter! " << endl; } cout << "You have " << MAX_TRIES - num_of_wrong_guesses; cout << " guesses left." << endl; if (strcmp(word, unknown) == 0) { cout << word << endl; cout << "Yeah! You got it!"; break; } } if(num_of_wrong_guesses == MAX_TRIES) { cout << "\nSorry, you lose...you've been hanged." << endl; cout << "The word was : " << word << endl; } getch(); return 0; } int letterFill (char guess, char secretword[], char guessword[]) { int i; int matches=0; for (i = 0; secretword[i]!='\0'; i++) { if (guess == guessword[i]) return 0; if (guess == secretword[i]) { guessword[i] = guess; matches++; } } return matches; } void initUnknown (char word[], char unknown[]) {

int i; int length = strlen(word); for (i = 0; i < length; i++) unknown[i]='*'; unknown[i]='\0'; }

SAMPLE INPUT AND OUTPUT: Welcome to hangman...Guess a country Name Each letter is represented by a star. You have to type only one letter in one try You have 5 tries to try and guess the word. **** Guess a letter: o You found a letter ! You have 5 guesses left. o*** Guess a letter:m You found a letter ! You have 5 guesses left. om** Guess a letter:d That letter isnt in there! You have 4 guesses left. om** Guess a letter:a You found a letter ! You have 4 guesses left. oma* Guess a letter:n You found a letter ! You have 4 guesses left. oman Yeah! You got it.
