Improved Word Jumble!
Author
Ok i got to the end of my chapter and they ask me to make a improved version of the game "Word Jumble" in this improved version they want me to add a scoring system.and they want the points to be based on the lenght of the word,and they want me to take points away when the person ask's for a 'Hint'.
i know how to get the length of a word like the number of letters in it.But i sure how to do it. And i have spent alot of time now trying to figure out how i can do this and its really slowing me down right now.Yes i had alot of probs with this chapter lets just say i figured out what i dont like about programming "Arrays" lol.
It could help us to help you if you told us which language you're using? I assume C since you're talking about strings in an array? then you can simply call strlen(). On a std::string there's the size() member function that will tell you how long the word is.

He says that if you loop over the array (or vector, whatever you use) you can get wordlength like this:
for(int i = 0; i < arrayLength; i++){ /// char* strings: score += strlen(arrayWithWords); /// C++ strings: score += arrayWithWords.size(); }off course this is a very basic example ;)

Can anyone show me a copy of the improved Word jumble they made in C++ plz (im visual)
Hey,
I have no clue which book you're talking about or what's a "Word Jumble" game (maybe cause I'm French, heh)
If you give a little more details I might be able to help
