Hangman game function issue

p is an int because its holding a position.

However, I forgot that you need to make sure find isn't starting from the beginning. That's my bad. size_t find ( char c, size_t pos = 0 ) const;

Ok, so, make p 0 each time you search for a new letter, and change the if statement to:
if( (p=input.find(guess, p)) < string::npos){}

As you can see, we give it the value of p each time, which will start out at 0, then be the position of the next letter, and so on, until it becomes greater than the string size.

The issue still remains with the letters like 'l' not appearing properly and merely printing 1 of the l's..

Also when you lose it does not exit properly...


Thanks so much. (See the comments for the various if statements I have used, the one I used before you posted just now works.)

lol... Ok. I'll take a look at it and try to see what's going on.
