SIMPLE CONSOLE GAME - PROBLEM STUCK NEED HELP

[codecaine1]

Hey guys, I am very new to C++.
I created this console game sort of like Hangman type with little to no reference/help at all. But I have now been stuck for an hour trying to get it to work right but I admit defeat. It has a small bug that I cannot seem to find a solution for. :(

PROBLEM:

The hangman word answer is BOB.
When I play the game I enter the letter B. It should reveal B*B but it does not. It just reveal B** instead. I think it is to do with my loop but I just don't know how to get it to reveal right. Could someone please help? I have a feeling it is something simple but I am stuck.



Thanks.

void init()
{
	char hidden[4] = { '*','*','*','\0' };
	char word[4] = { 'B','O','B','\0' };
	char guess;

	cout << "WORD IS: " << hidden << endl;
	cout << "Select a letter from the list: B O S E T B" << endl << endl;


	for (int i = 0; i <sizeof(word); i++)
	{

		cin >> guess;

		if (guess == word[i]) 
		{

			hidden[i] = word[i];
		}
		else
		{
			i--;
		}


		cout << "WORD IS: " << hidden << endl;
	}

}

Stop shouting in your title.
Perhaps move your cin >> guess to before the for loop. And why are you decrementing i?

You need a inner loop where you compare the letters with the guess. The outer loop is for the guess itself. Maybe you want to allow more guess than the number of letters.
