C++ :: Hangman Definition Game - Extract Word Randomly Form File And User Guess The Word
Jun 25, 2014
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.
Here's my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;
[Code] ....
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

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.
Here's my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int number;
int count = 0;
int numOfGuess = 0;
[Code] ...
This is words.txt:

boat#a vessel for transport by water
horse#a solid-hoofed plant-eating domesticated mammal with a flowing mane and tail, used for riding

I'm learning programming, and C++. I've got a question, but I couldn't solve my problem so far. I need to use arrays and only basic stuff to solve this:
Create a program that reads a word from the user and then print (cout) this word on contrary. It's simple, I know, but I can't do it,. I've tried some stuff but I don't get how I will get the proper values to do this. All I know is that I can use variable.lenght().

I'm currently creating a guessing game program where the user will be asked to guess the computer generated number. Once the program is finished, at the end the user will be asked if they want to play again. If the user types "Y or Y" the program will loop and when the user types "n or N" it will not loop. Check out my code below.
#include<iostream.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<dos.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<conio.h>
#define g gotoxy
void main(){
int a,l,b,guess,row,col,answer,num,clue=5;
[Code] ....
I can't loop this program.

My question is are there various ways that I can approach this program. I.e. do I have to use switch statements?
/*
NumToTxt
Creates the appropriate word form of any positive integer up to 999999
*/
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//represents the largest array size for the user entered number
const int MAXNUMARRAY = 6;
/*represents the largest number that can be entered + 1. Used to calculate the first number used to truncate the user
entered number and to display an error message to the user that tells the user the largest number that the program will
accept. */
const int BIGGESTNUMBER = 1000000;

I've taken part the text into 1 word per line, but I can't figure out how to printf every word only once and then add (%d) in the end to show how many repetitions of that word there are.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int main(){
char *oneword;

I have text (string) and I want to find a given word (it's ok!) and then insert another given word after the first word. The original string is beeing copied into a new string. But something is going wrong!!! Where is my mistake?
(I have some patches...)
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
//insert "new_word" after each occurence of "word"
int main(){
char A[100]="In the sentence words the and the.";

int countTextWords(ifstream * file)
{
string textWord;
int wordCount = 0;
while((*file) >> textWord)
{
wordCount++;
}
return wordCount;
}
for some reason, (*file) >> textWord will not read words into the string. What am I doing wrong?

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.

Just run a loop through each of the indexes in the guessarray and assign 'M' to them randomly.

I've been agonizing over this all day. The assignment is to capitalize every other word in a user input string.
My logic is as follows:
1. I have the program get each character until it encounters white space (using for loop)
2. Then it should capitalize each character after the white space until it encounters another white space (using while loop).
My problem though is when i try to create a condition for while loop i have to terminate is when white space is encountered, but the very first character to start the while loop is a white space..
I was told to define boolean values, but after trying a few boolean conditions I'm still stuck..
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;

I'm trying to write a program that capitalizes every other word of a user output. (ex: if input is "i love you", the output is "i LoVe YoU").
I am using a for loop (although an if loop might be easier?) and I'm assuming that it is possible to write this program using a for loop (although I may be wrong--maybe only if loops can write this program). I have everything down EXCEPT the last step where I have to print the entire sequence. What i have so far is:
Code:
#include <cs50.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
{
// get user input
printf("Type a sentence: ");
string s = GetString();
[Code] .....
The code above basically only prints out the capital letter (ex: input is "hello", output is "EL"). I don't know how to print out the entire sequence.

I'm working my way through some C exercises to get some practice and have hit a wall. I need to use a function to take a number, such as 1, and print out One.Here's what I've got so far:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int name(int n);
char numberOne[] = "One";
int main(void)
{
int n;
}
[code]...
However, when I run the code and enter "1" the only thing that gets printed to the screen is "(lldb)". I've tried changing it to doing it without variables and just printing "One" but that gave the exact same result.

Having problem with my code. i keep getting an error towards the bottom of the code. i need the user to enter a word. and with that word convert it to numbers. once i have convert it if it is bigger than 20 i have to add the two digits together and get print out the array that response to it.
example" ALEX
A=1
L=12
E=5
X=23
1+12+5+23= 41 //since its bigger than 20 you add 4 and 1 together so it will be 5. after that you print the 5th element of array
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string name;

The program should find and delete all vowels in a word that is user entered. This is what I have so far and I know it should be essentially this format I just don't know how to set enteredword and word equal to each other.
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void vowelremover(string&);
int main () {
string word;

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.
...
else if(s == 32) {
if(!currentLetter.empty()) {
currentLetter.erase(currentLetter.length() - 2, currentLetter.length() - 1);
} if(currentLetter.compare(oWord) == 0) {
[Code] .....
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 need to write a C program to make the user input some text,and the first letter of each word has to be uppercase.(have to use while loops)So for example lets say the user inputs:
i lOvE pRoGrAmMiNg
The output needs to be:
I Love Programming
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i = 0;
char c, lower_c;
printf("Enter text
");
[code]....
I have started this code by making the letters lowercase.I am not sure how proceed after this step, the step of making the first letter uppercase.
