C++ Resetting variables

[TechKnickle]

Help please

//Spell Poncho
//By me

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main ()
{
char one, two, three, four, five, answer, poncho, p, six,o,n,c,h;
int i;
i=1;

{
  
   std::cout << "\t\t-----------------------------------------------\n";
   std::cout << "\t\t-           Spell Poncho Version 1.0          -\n";
   std::cout << "\t\t-           How do you spell Poncho?          -\n";
   std::cout << "\t\t-             SPELL PONCHO CORRECT            -\n";
   std::cout << "\t\t-             TO CLOSE THE PROGRAM            -\n";
   std::cout << "\t\t-----------------------------------------------\n";
   std::cout << "\n";
   std::cout << "\n";
      

  while (i ==1)
{
{



std::cout << "SPELL PONCHO: ";
std::cin >> one;
std::cin >> two;
std::cin >> three;
std::cin >> four;
std::cin >> five;
std::cin >> six;

}
if (six != 'o' or five !='h' or one !='p' or two !='o' or three !='n' or four !='c')
 
{
    std::cout << "Spelling PONCHO\n";
    std::cout << "\n";
    std::cout << "\n";
    std::cout << "WRONG SPELLING DETECTED!!!  IT IS SPELLED PONCHO YOU IDIOT!";
    std::cout << "\n";
    std::cout << "\n";
    std::cout <<"You Spelled: " << one<<two<<three<<four<<five<<six;
    std::cout << "\n";
    std::cout << "\n";
    std::cout << "TRY SPELLING IT AGAIN!";
    std::cout << "\n";
    std::cout << "\n";
    std::cout << "\n";

}
if (six =='o' and five =='h' and one =='p' and two =='o' and three =='n' and four =='c')
{

    std::cout << "\n";
    std::cout << "\n";
    std::cout << "\nGreat job!  You spelled: ";
    std::cout << one<<two<<three<<four<<five<<six;
    std::cout << "\n";
    std::cout << "\n";


}    
}
} 
}

Here is my source.

I need to know how to reset the variables one,two,three,four,five,six because if they misspell poncho one time then every other time poncho will be misspelled no matter what happens because the variables are not cleared.

Can someone tell me how to clear/reset these variables?

The problem is not in the one two ... its in cin. If you type "1234567890" and then do cin into a char 6 times you get "7890" still left in the buffer. If you then type poncho the program reads what it missed the last time meaning "7890po" and you get "ncho" for the next read and so on. You should step thru the code to see exactly whats happening.

Your code isnt robust for all input. You need to use a string or clear the cin buffer.

By the way afaik you use "one = 'x';" to assign values if thats what your asking.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std; // will use cout instead of std::cout ..

int main ()
{
string input_word;
string wanted_word = "poncho";
{
cout << "\t\t-How do you spell " << wanted_word << "-\n";
while (1)
{
cout << "SPELL " << wanted_word << "\n";
cin >> input_word;
input_word;

if ( input_word == wanted_word){
cout <<"Great job! You spelled: \n"<< input_word << "\n";
}

else{
cout << "\nYou made a mistake! You spelled: "<< input_word<< "\n";
}
}
}
}
