alright so my friend helped me with the "check" code a bit...
but the "game" kinda craps out when the user puts in a correct letter.

does any one want to tell me what is wrong and how to fix it so that instead of crapping out it puts the answer in the right spot?

i did not put in the other function well because i dont think that they are why my program 'craps out' but then again i dont know whats wrong except i get an error that says <i>myhangman.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.</i>


well thank you in advance!
