That's my code. I need to figure out how to create an If else statement to compare the input of the user in the GAME(); function and the actual word that the program randomized. For some reason when i try to put the IF (GUESS[50] = S) it says
"theres no way to compare type char and type string." So i've been swapping around types but i can't figure it out. What should i do? Thanks in advance

guess is declared to have a size of 50, but ranges from 0 - 49, right? You're trying to read into guess[50] which should be outside of the range.

Another thing, why declare a size of 50 if you're only apparently using one string to hold the guess? Keep in mind that string holds 50 individual strings and not a string of length 49.

1) Be very careful, 'word' may be a reserved name on some systems.

2) You have declared an array of strings for 'guess' but I think you just want it to be one string? As Chilton pointed out, you have done this cin >> guess[50]; when I think you just wanted cin >> guess[0]; which really means you should have done:

string guess;
...
cin >> guess;
