Word guessing game

[opie]

I need some help completing a word guessing game.

The functions names need to remain they way they are named. Inside the main CAN NOT be changed, only functions can be.

I'm stuck on the last one: number_right.

the function should take six characters. compare the 1st and 4th, and 2nd and 5th, and 3rd and 6th.
Then output which (if any) of those three pairs of characters match and should return either 0,1,2 or 3.

the game is asking to pick a three letter word (constonant vowel constonant). when you get one of the three right it will tell you which one is correct until you either run out of guesses or get the correct word. it will then ask if you would like to play again.

please also see if any of my other functions need any changes.

Thanks

Please, wrap it up in [code] tags, to make it more readable.

int number_right(int consonant1,int vowel,int consonant2, int consonant1_guess, int vowel_guess, int consonant2_guess )
{
    int correctLetters = 0;
    if(consonant1 == consonant1_guess)
        correctLetters++;
    if(vowel == vowel_guess)
        correctLetters++;
    if(consonant2 == consonant2_guess)
        correctLetters++;

    return correctLetters;
}

This could do your number right function. You are using cin to check the user input. This might not be the best way because it needs the user to hit return to get input. Also you arent storing the getrandomconsonant & vowel functions anywhere.
