Question

Write an interactive program that plays a game of hangman. Store the word to be guessed in successive elements of a 1-dimensional array of individual characters named word. The program should terminate when either all letters have been guessed correctly (the player wins) or a specified number of incorrect guesses have been make (the computer wins).

Hint: Use a second 1-dimensional array of characters guessed, to keep track of the solution so far. Initialize all elements of guessed to the ‘*’ symbol. Each time a letter in word is guessed, replace the corresponding ‘*’ in guessed with that letter.

Your program should be modular, with separate functions for input, each part of the processing and output. Your output should be well-organized, neat, and easy to read.
