    Hangman

    Uploaded by

    The document contains C++ code for a Hangman game. It defines constants for the maximum length, number of tries, and hangman rows. It initializes an unknown word by replacing letters with asterisks and takes letter guesses to reveal the word, tracking incorrect guesses until the word is guessed or the player loses. Functions are included to randomly select a word, initialize the unknown word, and check/replace letters in the guess.

    The document shows the code for a hangman game implemented in C++. It uses arrays, strings, random number generation and input/output functions.

    The code includes functions to initialize the hidden word, check if a guessed letter is in the word, and display the status of the game. It uses arrays to store the words and tracks the number of incorrect guesses.

    The user is welcomed and shown the rules. Then each turn they guess a letter, the program checks if it's in the word and fills in the blanks if so. It continues until all letters are guessed or tries run out.
