can you help me correct this code, I am confused, because when I enter the input to run this function, it announce the window error? not the normal C++ error ?

help help please

Please please stop making new threads for same subject.

for ( ; Subscript < Size; Subscript++)
	{
		Guess [Subscript] = '-';
	}

I'm guessing problems happen here? What value is Size?

Please give the actual message statement from the windows error message, that will help a lot. My crystal ball needs new batteries. (still)

Also, please post code using code tags, not quote tags, like

[code]

your code goes here

"program 5 final. exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" . That how it is, there are no other problem, can you correct for me please, it will be dued tommorow

Shall we correct it here, here, or here? Close two of the three threads please.

That's a runtime error, not a compile error, and not a very specific error. Run it from the command prompt and see if you get a more specific error please.

Without a full program to compile, we can't find the error. Your function has four different char arrays, only one of which you assign any content at all. Where does the Words array come from - you're not using a global variable, are you? That's a naughty no-no!;)

I find it hard to believe you're getting a runtime error, as I don't see that this code would compile yet.
