In OPTION 2 comment the following line
//inWord();
in your main function.

And learn how to use CODE-TAGS as you were told before.

Use code tags and we might help.

And you should really work on your code formatting. That looks terrible.

Don't yell at me if I'm wrong - I'm thirteen. :)

If the poster doesn't use code-tags, all formatting will be automatically lost, so the code might actually be properly formatted....

We dont use code-tags in our c++ tags but if you guys say they are suppose to be there i might have to self teach myself them because we are using he C++ beginning from thomson course technology. and it doesnt mention code-tags

>and it doesnt mention code-tags
Code tags are a feature of Daniweb's forum. You take your code and wrap it in code tags like so when you want to post it here:

[code=cplusplus]
<code from your book here>
[/code]

This preserves the formatting of your code rather than trimming all leading whitespace from it. With the cplusplus attribute, line numbers and color coding are also added. Here's how code looks without code tags:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
std::cout<<"Hello, world!\n";
}

And here's the same code with code tags:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
  for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
    std::cout<<"Hello, world!\n";
}
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
    std::cout<<"Hello, world!\n";
}

Notice the difference?

p.s. We give you about 10 posts to learn how to use code tags, then start issuing infractions for each failure to use them. At 2 points per infraction, that means you can get off five posts before you're automatically banned for not following our rules.

I'm here to prove you wrong.

In the function inword() , i dont understand why you are creating new vector words and a character variable guess.

Instead of doing that. Pass them as arguments for the function or declare them globally and dont declare them again in the function itself.

1. Please Mark Your Thread as Solved After Getting Your Answers.
2. Please Use CODE TAGS .
