random string for asterik masking error help?

[Adambacktiar]

hello everybody i was create a hangman game with string and random to every i run the program but retry point and asterik no t worki please help!!!!. i was desperate right now


#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
int main(){
int i=0;
string word;
string asterik(word.length(),'*');
string word_word[] =
{
"india",
"japan",
"nepal",
"china",
"madagascar",
"azerbaijan",
"kyrgyzstan",
"turkmenistan",
"french guiana",
"new caledonia"
};
/*ar asterik[]={'*'};*/
if (asterik==word);
char you_guess=' ';
int fals=0;
int chance=3;
int win=0;

while(fals<=3){

if(fals==3){
chance=0;
break;
}

int total_asterik=0;
int n=rand()% 10;
word=word_word[n];


puts ("*****************WELCOME TO GAME HANGMAN********************");
puts ("__________________________________________________________\n");
puts ("| Rule : you just guess the letters that marked |");
puts ("| *, and you choose three chances to guess the letters |");
puts ("__________________________________________________________\n");

printf ("Please Guess the word Here :\n");
for(i=0;i<10;i++){
printf("%c",word[i]);
}

printf("\tchance : %i",chance);
printf("\n\n");

int same=0;

printf("Enter your guess : ");

for(i=0;i<10;i++){
if(word[i]=='*'){
total_asterik++;
}
}

if (word==asterik){
printf("\n\nCONGRATULATION!! YOU WON!!");
break;
}

scanf("%c",&you_guess);
fflush(stdin);

for(i=0;i<12;i++){
if(word[i]==you_guess){
word[i]=you_guess;
same++;
}
}

if(same==0){
fals++;
chance--;
}

if (fals==3){
printf("\nSORRY, YOU'RE LOSER!!!");
break;
}
}
}

string 'word' doesn't have a value when you use the length() to initialize 'asterik.'

string word; // empty
string asterik(word.length(),'*'); // word.length() == 0

You are loading stdio.h from c and iostream from c++ . Stdlib from c and cstdlib from c++ what are you trying to do ?
Also which compiler are you using because conio is not even used nowadays and I am pretty sure we only need to include one of string or string.h not both of them.

[Adambacktiar]

ok do you meant like this

#include <conio.h>
#include <ctime>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
int main(){
int i=0;

string asterik(word.length() == 0);
string word[] =
{
"india",
"japan",
"nepal",
"china",
"madagascar",
"azerbaijan",
"kyrgyzstan",
"turkmenistan",
"french guiana",
"new caledonia"
};
/*ar asterik[]={'*'};*/
if (asterik==word);
char you_guess=' ';
int fals=0;
int chance=3;
int win=0;

while(fals<=3){

if(fals==3){
chance=0;
break;
}

int total_asterik=0;
int n=rand()% 10;
word[n];


puts ("*****************WELCOME TO GAME HANGMAN********************");
puts ("__________________________________________________________\n");
puts ("|      Rule : you just guess the letters that marked       |");
puts ("| *, and you choose three chances to guess the letters    |");
puts ("__________________________________________________________\n");

printf ("Please Guess the word Here :\n");
for(i=0;i<10;i++){
printf("%c",word[i]);
}

printf("\tchance : %i",chance);
printf("\n\n");

int same=0;

printf("Enter your guess : ");

for(i=0;i<10;i++){
if(word[i]=='*'){
total_asterik++;
}
}

if (word==asterik){
printf("\n\nCONGRATULATION!! YOU WON!!");
break;
}

scanf("%c",&you_guess);
fflush(stdin);

for(i=0;i<12;i++){
if(word[i]==you_guess){
word[i]=you_guess;
same++;
}
}

if(same==0){
fals++;
chance--;
}

if (fals==3){
printf("\nSORRY, YOU'RE LOSER!!!");
break;
}
}
}

there are still error when i remove

string word;
string asterik(word.length(),'*');

this is my log
line 11 error: 'word' was not declared in this scope

Can you clarify that which language are you using C or C++ and which compiler are you using if you are using c++ .

[Adambacktiar]

ok,fine i want to use c++.can you give me source code for me
and i use minGW compiler for code blocks

where is asterisk code i can't found it in your source code

[MRQ1]

Why do you want to use arterisk or whatever it is I gave you an example of a simple hangman game made in c++.
