1. Assignment Specifications
You must implement a simplified version of hangman. In our
simplified version, the player gets 7 incorrect guesses to guess
all of the characters within a phrase. You are required to
implement the specified functions and utilize any provided
functions.
Hangman Algorithm
● Get phrase to be solved (using getline to allow for spaces
in the phrase to be guessed)
● Clear output window so phrase is not seen (clear window
using clearScreen())
● Setup unsolved phrase so game has another string with
dashes in place of characters
(call setupUnsolved function)
● Output the unsolved phrase
● Play Game until phrase is completely guessed or no wrong
guesses left, 7 wrong allowed
○ Get letter guess (call getGuess function)
(All user input & respective prompts after initial phrase should
ONLY occur
in the getGuess function)

2. ○ Update string containing all characters guessed so far
○ Take action on the guess
■ Correct: update unsolved phrase using the updateUnsolved
function
■ Incorrect: update the wrong guess count
○ Clear the screen, using clearScreen()
○ Output game status
■ updated unsolved phrase - phrase with dashes for
unguessed letters
■ list of characters guessed so far
■ number of wrong guesses left
● Output game over message (You lost! or
Congratulations!!)
Header File
We have supplied a header file to be utilized with this
assignment. The file name is assn.h. In the file is a function
that will clear the terminal window. You will call this function
to clear the screen in the specified spots within the algorithm.
You should include the header file at the top of your assignment
with the other includes (this one should be last): #include
“assn.h”

3. Additional Requirements and Hints
● Implement each function and get feedback/credit for each
before doing main game
● All user input statements should be followed by an output
statement to create a blank line.
● All inputs and corresponding prompts after initial phrase
occur only in body of getGuess
● All phrases and valid guesses will use lowercase
alphabetic characters
● The player gets 7 wrong guesses.
● No input or output statements exist in setupUnsolved or
updateUnsolved
● You should be utilizing a single puzzle variable and
assigning into it the return value from setupUnsolved and
updateUnsolved.
● Use at(): This member function can go on either side of an
‘=’ sign. To either get and use the value at a specified position
(right side) or to assign a new value into that specific position
(left side). at() throws an exception when you access an invalid
value, this will save you time hunting down bugs. Do not use []
syntax as it may or may not throw an error.
● bool isalpha(char): In order to check to see if a guess is
proper alphabetic character you can use this built in function
that takes a single character as an argument.

4. ● Note: The functions setupUnsolved and updateUnsolved
act in opposition to each other. This means that should have
slight logical differences but are coded similarly.
Functions
The following 3 functions are required.
You must define, implement and correctly use these 3 functions
with the exact specifications described below. In fact, just copy-
and-paste these comments and function headers into your source
file one-by-one as you implement them.
/// @brief Puts dashes in place of alphabetic characters in the
phrase.
/// @param phrase the phrase to be solved
/// @return the phrase with all alphabetic characters converted
to dashes
string setupUnsolved(string phrase)
/// @brief Replaces the dashes with the guessed character.

5. /// @param phrase the phrase to be solved
/// @param unsolved the phrase with dashes for all unsolved
characters
/// @param guess the char containing the current guessed
character
/// @return the new unsolved string with dashes replaced by
new guess
string updateUnsolved(string phrase, string unsolved, char
guess)
/// @brief Gets valid guess as input.
///
/// A guess is taken as input as a character. It is valid if
/// 1) it is an alphabetic character and
/// 2) the character has not already been guessed
///
/// @param prevGuesses the string containing all characters
guessed so far
/// @return a valid guess and only a valid guess as a character
char getGuess(string prevGuesses)

6. Reading diff Output
Due to the possibility of an excess amount of output we simply
show the differences between the solution’s output and the
output of the program that is being tested; whether it is output
specific to a function or the whole program’s output. The
following explains how to read this difference output.
--- hangman.cpp
+++ solution.cpp
@@ -56,2 +56,2 @@
wrong guesses left: 0
-you lost
+you lost!
The first 2 lines are a key, they show the symbol associated
with with the listed file. The lines after the @@ sybmols show
differences. The first character in every line states which file it
comes from. If no symbol character (“+” or “-”) is shown then
it occurs in both files.

7. In order to fix your output you should change all lines that do
not match the solution.
Specific to the above:
The - symbol is associated with the file named hangman.cpp
The + symbol is associated with the file named solution.cpp
The line “wrong guesses left” has no initial symbol, it occurs in
both files.
The line “-you lost” has a minus sign as an initial symbol, it
occurs in hangman.cpp.
The line “+you lost” has a plus sign as an initial symbol, it
occurs in solution.cpp.
To fix the above example, the hangman.cpp is missing an
exclamation mark; if we add it then the output will match and
this specific case will disappear.
Example Run (user input has been bolded and underlined for
emphasis, c by itself is clearScreen output)
Enter phrase: hello.

8. c
Phrase: -----.
Enter a guess: h
c
Phrase: h----.
Guessed so far: h
Wrong guesses left: 7
Enter a guess: e
c

9. Phrase: he---.
Guessed so far: he
Wrong guesses left: 7
Enter a guess: l
c
Phrase: hell-.
Guessed so far: hel
Wrong guesses left: 7
Enter a guess: d
c

10. Phrase: hell-.
Guessed so far: held
Wrong guesses left: 6
Enter a guess: l
Invalid guess! Please re-enter a guess: 8
Invalid guess! Please re-enter a guess: o
c
Phrase: hello.
Guessed so far: heldo
Wrong guesses left: 6
