in blade's example, once the letter is found, the value of i is also character's position. Though I donno why he put that inside the loop

My problem is that when i put it a right letter, it reads it as wrong and gives me another body part. WTF is with that? |

Quote: guessedLetters := guessedLetters + guess
mic := "" if guess = mic then put "Nice Job you got a letter" that part right there.... you are comparing guess to mic when mic = the hidden word, up top... i dunno how efficient this is but this is what i'd do..
oh and by the way, this code is an example, it shouldnt work (theres people who discrminate because i give non-working code) |

i put it in a loop because it checks for more than one occurance of the letter... hence index(word(i .. *),pattern) but in his code he doesnt need it... for some reason i was thinking of mine... i used it because i had a boolean array for each of the letters, if the letter was marked as false it would display a "-" if it was marked as true, it would display the correct letter lol so take out the loop, and the subscript of word

thats how I did my hangman too. Boolean array for letters. its just that if you're to look for more then one occurance, instead of having a loop with index, you just continue from the place first match was found. Such as if first match is 10th letter, you dont need to check first 9... just makes it for a more efficient program  |

but if it finds more than one, or two, then you're gonna have to use a loop to check more than once... right? |

ya, a loop... with exit when counter > length(word) then inside the loop itself you use index(word(counter..*),guess) if that yields a positive result, you guessed another letter and reset the counter to the return value of index. Otherwise you quit the loop. as for the for loop. You might as well just compare individual letters, no point in looking for a match just to see if it was found on first letter. Waste of resourses. |

Quote: if guess = mic then
put "Nice Job you got a letter" instead of if guess = mic then do
you gotta check to see if guess is in the word... you cant compare your guess to your hidden word |
