Crashing and can't debug

[glaivetitan]

Pleas help me with this, why is my code crashing?

It compiles then opens the exe then appcrash window comes up.

It says in the installer it's Dev C++ 5.9.2 but I look at the window it says 5.11 and I don't know wtf anymore.

I used other versions before and get the same problem.

I tried the debugger and shows a window that I have not enabled debugging info (-g) and when I click yes Dev C++ crashes.

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
#include<string>
#include<ctime>
#include<cstdlib>


using namespace std;

int main()
{
	srand(time(0));
	const string guess1="COMPUTING";
	const string guess2="INFORMATION";
	const string guess3="SCIENCE";
	int guess1len=guess1.length();
	int guess2len=guess2.length();
	int guess3len=guess3.length();
	string toguess;
	int guesspick=rand()%3;
	int toguesslength;
	toguesslength=toguess.length()-1;
	string wordhold[toguesslength+1];	
	int answer=0;
	int wrong=0;
	cout << toguesslength << endl;
	if (guesspick==0)
	{
		/*for(int h=1; h<=4; h++)
		{	
		guess1.replace(rand()%guess1len, 1 , "_");
		}*/
		toguess=guess1;
	}
	else if (guesspick==1)
	{
		/*for(int j=1; j<=4; j++)
		{
		guess2.replace(rand()%guess2len, 1 , "_");
		}*/
		toguess=guess2;
	}
	else if (guesspick==2)
	{
		/*for(int k=1; k<=4; k++)
		{
		guess3.replace(rand()%guess3len, 1 , "_");
		}*/
		toguess=guess3;
	}
	
	for (int x=0; x<=toguesslength; x++)
	{
		wordhold[x]=toguess.at(x);
	}
	
	for (int x=0; x<4; )
	{
		int blank=rand()%toguesslength;
		if (wordhold[blank]!="_")
		{
			wordhold[blank]="_";
			x++;
		}
	}
	
	cout<<"Word To Guess:";
	for (int x=0; x<=toguesslength; x++)
	{
		cout<<wordhold[x];
	}
	cout<<endl;
	
	
	char userguess;
	while (answer!=4 ||wrong!=3)
	{
		cout<<"Enter Guess:";
		cin>>userguess;
		
		for (int x=0; x<=toguesslength; x++)
		{
			if (userguess==toguess.at(x))
			{
				if (wordhold[x]=="_")
				{
					wordhold[x]=userguess;
					cout<<"Letter Matched"<<endl;
					answer++;
					break;
				}
			}
			else if (userguess!=toguess.at(x))
			{
				if (wordhold[x]=="_")
				{
					cout<<"No Match"<<endl;
					wrong++;
					break;
				}
				else continue;
			}
			
		}
			if (wrong==3)
			{
				cout<<"Game Over"<<endl;
				break;
			}
			else if (answer==4)
			{
				cout<<"Champion"<<endl;
				cout<<"You smart"<<endl;
				cout<<"I appreciate you"<<endl;
				break;
			}	else continue;
		}
		return 0;
	}
	

People said its the first instance of for (int x=0; x<=toguesslength; x++)

Hello Glaivetitan,

The problem occurs in the for loop at line 60.
It seems to be looping forever. Change it to for (int x=0; x<4; x++)

I hope this helps you, have a nice day:)

Best regards,

Mark.

By the way, I was looking at the rest of your code and I was wondering, can't you make an array with guesses and replace the lines 31 to 51 with something like this:

string guess [] = {"COMPUTING","INFORMATION","SCIENCE"};
int guesspick=rand()%3;

string guessString = guess[guesspick];
int guessStringLen = guessString.length();
string Replacedstring;
//string AllReplacedStrings
for(int h=1; h<=4; h++) // I don't know what you exactly want, but in this current code I rewrote for you, the forloop is kinda useless.
{	
	Replacedstring = guessString.replace(rand()%guessStringLen, 1 , "_");
	//AllReplacedStrings += Replacedstring
}
cout << Replacedstring<<endl;
//cout << AllReplacedStrings<<endl;

Yes, there's a bug in that version of the IDE. If there's ever a newer version released it may be fixed.

Though there does seem to be some possible workaround, I don't recall exactly, but if you click 'no' instead of 'yes' it may work.
