hangman code in C

User 11155132

hello guys, i have to write a simple project ... it is a hangman code in C# i have this...but when I run it... i keeps printing twice some sentences... if anybody can help me... and if the user type something different from l ..when it is asked...everything goes wrong...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

/* contant declarations */
#define NUM_TRIES_ALLOWED 10

/* function prototypes */

main()
{
/* variable declarations */
int num_letters = 0, /* length of word char array */
count = 0, /* for word char array */
tries = 0, /* total tries user has used */
num_vis_chars = 0, /* # of visible characters */
correct_guesses = 0, /* # of correct guesses */
correct_flag = 0, /* was guess correct? */
repeat_flag = 0, /* was guess a repeat? */
choice;

char guess,guessword;

/* array declarations */
char word[255] = " ";
char incorrect_letters[255] = " ";
/* get word */
puts( "Enter a word for player to guess." );
gets( word );

printf("Ready to start!\n");
num_letters = strlen( word );
char visible_word[num_letters]; /* displays correct guesses */

/* initialize visble_word */
for( count = 0; count < num_letters; count++ )
visible_word[count] = '*';

visible_word[num_letters] = '\0';

if (guess == visible_word[count]){

while( tries < NUM_TRIES_ALLOWED )
{

  printf( "The word is: %s\\n\\n", visible\_word );
  printf("Number of turns remaining: %d", NUM\_TRIES\_ALLOWED-tries);
  printf("\\nWould you like to guess the word \[w\] or guess a letter \[l\]:");
    choice = getchar();

        if (choice=='l'){

  printf( "\\nWhat letter have you chosen?:\\t " );
  scanf( " %c", &guess );}

        /\* match guess against previous guesses \*/
  for( count = 0; count < num\_letters; count++ )
     if( guess == visible\_word\[count\] || guess == incorrect\_letters\[count\] )
     {
        repeat\_flag  = 1;
        correct\_flag = 1;
        break;
     }

  if( repeat\_flag == 0 )
     /\* check for matches in string \*/
     for( count = 0; count < num\_letters; count++ )
     {
        if( guess == word\[count\] )

Try using your debugger to identify exactly where the problem(s) occur.

I cannot even get your code to compile so I have no idea how you are managing to run it.

:-D My up-vote for trying.

A quick desk check suggested a number of errors, but I wanted to be sure. :thumbsup:

If this is true, then you should be in the C# forum. Otherwise, what you have shown looks like C code.

Have you stepped through the code using the debugger? Are you using Visual Studio, or some other IDE?
