Question

(Game: hangman) Write a hangman game that randomly generates a word and prompts the user to guess one letter at a time, as shown in the sample run. Each letter in the word is displayed in an asterisk. When the user makes a correct guess, the actual letter is then displayed. When the user finishes a word, display the number of misses and ask the user whether to continue for another word. Declare an array to store words, as follows // Use any words you wish string words[] = {"write", "that", ); The following is a sample run: (Guess) Enter a letter in word ****> p (Guess) Enter a letter in word pr*r** p p is already in the word (Guess) Enter a letter in word pr**r**> o (Guess) Enter a letter in word pro*g (Guess) Enter a letter in word progr** n n is not in the word (Guess) Enter a letter in word progn**m (Guess) Enter a letter in word progr*m> a The word is program. You missed 1 time Do you want to guess for another word? Enter y or n>

using namespace std;

int main(){

    string a[] = { "happy", "sad","action","thrill","open","close","green","blue","apple","orange"};
    srand(time(NULL));
    string ch;

    string guess = "";
    int ind = rand()%10;
    string data = "" ;
   
    for (int i = 0; i<a[ind].size(); i++)
        data = data + "*";
    int count = 0;
   
    while(1){
       while(1) {
           cout << "(Guess) Enter a letter in word "<< data << " > ";
           cin >> ch;
           count++;
           int miss_count = 0;
           for (int i = 0; i<a[ind].size(); i++){
              int found = 0;
              if (a[ind][i] == ch[0]){
                 found = 1;
                 if (data[i] != ch[0])
                    data[i] = ch[0];
                 else
                    cout << ch[0] << " is already in the word. " << endl;
              }
              if (found == 0)
                 miss_count++;
           }
           if (data == a[ind]){
              cout << "The word is " << data << ". You missed " << miss_count << " time" << endl;
              break;
           }  
      }
      cout << "Do you want to guess for another word? enter y or n>";
      cin >> ch;
      if (ch[0] == 'n')
         break;
