thank you for all of your feed back and this is my updated version
but the things is the program did not run yet. though I tried to developed almost everything.
when I input value to the program to ask for each function. it does not run and exit automatically.
I dont' know why . please help me. it will due tommorow. thank you

choice is char
1 would be 49 decimal..

I pretty sure there's a better way of drawing the scene with an initial array that you print in a loop, then add the new characters to the array every new state.

I don't know what do you mean? I am sorry iam a foreigner, but can you please explain it a bit clearly

Sorry i did not see '
Initialize Continue='Y' first..

while (Continue =='Y')
{


cout<<"Welcome to Hangman . . . Don't lose your head!"<<endl;

I did ,man

I'm not sure..

char c = 'Y';
while (c == 'Y')
{//...}
