C++ :: For Loop In Hangman Game - Read A Word From Text File Randomly And Matches It With Definition
Jun 26, 2014
Ok here I have a program that reads a word from a text file randomly and matches it with the definition. The user has to guess what the word is according to the definition.
I'm having trouble with my for loop, I'm not getting any errors. But I just know something is off.
using namespace std;
int main(){
int number;
int count = 0;
int numOfGuess = 0;
[Code] ...
This is words.txt:
apple#the usually round, red or yellow, edible fruit of a small tree
boat#a vessel for transport by water
horse#a solid-hoofed plant-eating domesticated mammal with a flowing mane and tail, used for riding
television#a system for transmitting visual images and sound that are reproduced on screens
soup#a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc.
bottle#a container, typically made of glass or plastic and with a narrow neck
barber#a person who cuts hair
toast#sliced bread browned on both sides by exposure to radiant heat
radar#a system for detecting the presence, direction, distance, and speed of aircraft, ships, and other objects
red#of a color at the end of the spectrum next to orange and opposite violet
Basically I have a text file called words. I'm supposed to extract a word randomly form the file and have the user guess the word. If they guess the word correctly in x number of tries they will receive the definition.
I'm having trouble receiving that random word and I'm getting the definitions from the file.
This is what is in the words.txt file apple#the usually round, red or yellow, edible fruit of a small tree boat#a vessel for transport by water horse#a solid-hoofed plant-eating domesticated mammal with a flowing mane and tail, used for riding television#a system for transmitting visual images and sound that are reproduced on screens soup#a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc. bottle#a container, typically made of glass or plastic and with a narrow neck barber#a person who cuts hair toast#sliced bread browned on both sides by exposure to radiant heat radar#a system for detecting the presence, direction, distance, and speed of aircraft, ships, and other objects red#of a color at the end of the spectrum next to orange and opposite violet

I am trying to pull my words randonly from a wordbank .txt file and so far i have this
#include <iostream> #include <cctype> #include <fstream> using namespace std; string word; char knownLetters[]; // The word could be of any length int stages = 6; // Our hangman has 6 stages, so the player starts with 6 lives
I am now making a Dictionary using C++. My goal is to search the word and display the definition of the searched word from the text file. I have a code but it is not working. How can I search a word and display the definition of the word from a text file?
So far I have managed to sort songs by their string length in main. The void function is there because i learned how to create it, but it's not being used because I dont know how to use it.
Expanding on main, how would I go about selecting a random song from the array?
#include <fstream> #include <iomanip> #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; struct Song { string song;
My question is how can i read one line from a ".txt" file? To be more clear, i'm trying to write a hangman game. Therefore I'm trying to get words from a "wordlist.txt" file i created. I know a little bit about ifstream, ofstream and fstream. So my function i created to get a random line from this txt (not-completed yet since i don't know how to get that randomized line);
void grw() { int line; srand (time(NULL)); line = (rand() % 7972) + 1; ifstream wordlist; wordlist.open("wordlist.txt"); }
I created a variable called 'line' for the line number and randomized it (there are 7972 words in ".txt" file). So what i want to do now is to get the word on that line.
I'm making a hangman game. All i need to do is after the user guesses the letter correctly it replaces the stars with that letter. I have been trying for the past 2 hours and cant get it. So basically I have to do this. DisplayWord.replace(0, theWord(0)) but I don't know how to put it in.
i am trying to make a hangman game. The game works fine so far but i cannot seem to keep track of the letters used. I have to prevent the user from using a letter that has already been entered by the user at some point in the game before. But can't seem to work my way around it. I have included the code below
I'm creating a program that takes user input in the form of a string and tests to see if it matches a word. Each correct word will increase their score by one. Here is a portion of the code that is not working.
To me, this looks like it should do a very simple task as intended-take a String, compare it to another, and reset the word if they match or output incorrect if not. But, I'm not sure if there is some quirk in C++ with Strings, because this code always outputs Incorrect. Please try again. and the score never increases. I also tested this by literally setting the strings equal in the code, which still resulted in it not doing what it's supposed to.
I am recreating a hangman game. I'm trying to generate a random number to choose which word from my words list to use and I've done it a billion times before just like this. So, here's my code:
#include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> //standard library. #include <ctime> //for random. #include <fstream> //for reading and writing to a file. #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { int num_words; string word[num_words];
[Code] .....
I have the text file "words.txt" info below.
5 dog cat horse pig bird
If I run the program as it is, I get a segmentation fault core dumped error, however, if I take all the stuff that reads in the words from the words.txt file, like so:
#include <iostream> //every program has this. #include <cstdlib> //standard library. #include <ctime> //for random. #include <fstream> //for reading and writing to a file. #include <string>
I am supposed to read(scan) data from a folder with multiple(21578) text files, and file names are numbered from 1 to 21578,and read each word that occurs in a text file, and count the number of times it occurs in the entire folder,i.e; in all the files how do i go about it? I've tried this so far..but it isn't working..
How would one go about doing this? I am very fond with Windows I/O, but not so much with this subject. I am decent with fstream, probably not as skilled at it as I should be, but I assume <fstream> would be a better choice, since it isn't locked to Windows.
Anyway, say I have a .txt file like this:
Bill is a cow. Bill likes meat. Bob is a pig. Bob and Bill are friends.
And I want to count the number of times "Bill" is written. How would I do that?
I have a C++ program that performs calculations on numbers in a text file. However, suppose we have additional words in the text file such as "Title". In this instance, the program will not calculate the numbers in the file because of the text.
How do we remove text from a file using the C++ program? e.g. if I wanted to specify the program to remove any instances of the word "Title", how would I do it?
I am currently writing a password generator in Microsoft Visual Studios 2010 Professional. The section I am having a problem with is the practical password. It is suppose to randomly read 3 words from a text file and then display it in the text box. The program will compile and run but when I hit generate I get "True True True" and not three random words. Then this warning shows up:
Warning C4800: 'char *' : forcing value to bool 'true' or 'false' (performance warning)
//Code is from the form1.h file. I can post the rest of the code if need be but I just included my includes and the problematic section
I was asked to create a program to find word frequencies, word length in a text file. I am able to use map to do the frequencies part but don't know how to sort the the output accordingly to the length of the words. The example output that I should get is
I've written a function that has to receive a word as parameter, and then has to find the amount of times that word (uppercase & lowercase) occurs in a text file:
For example, if the word "the" is sent as a parameter, the total amount of times the words "the" and "THE" occurs in the text file, has to be calculated.
However, my function is not displaying the correct amount, what is wrong with my function:
int WordCount :: countWords(string wrd) { int counter=0; string temp = "";
The user will first enter the file name to be processed. The program can do the following 5 tasks:
1. Count the number of words 2. Count the number of alphabets (without punctuation marks) 3. Count number of sentences. 4. Count the frequency of each vowel. 5. Count frequency of the following three words individually: FAST, computer and engineering
There should be a proper menu through which the user can select the desired task. The program should continue until the user asks to terminate it.
Here is what i have done so far:
#include <iostream> #include <cstring> #include <fstream> #include <cstdlib> using namespace std; int main(void) { int opt=0; //option number ifstream fin; string filename;
[Code]...
There are a few problems.
1- When I enter option 'q', an infinite loop starts. 2- The first time, the program gives the correct value. After that, each time it gives answer ZERO. 3- The last part is not working. I experimented something which failed. I don't know how to do the last part.
I've been struggling with this for a while, I have to write a function that accepts a word (in my case the word is "the") and file pointer, and counts the number of times the given word appears (case insensitive) within the file associated with the pointer. This means the two words "the" and "THE" should both be counted.
Here is my code:
int WordCount :: countWords(string wrd) { int counter=0; string temp = ""; while (getline(*file,temp)) { for (int i = 0; i < temp.length();i++) {
[Code] ....
This is what I have come up with, but I get an incorrect value. It was suggested to us to consider using the strcpy() or strstr() functions, but I don't know how to use them.
