C Programming

Hello all,

I'm trying to design a game of hangman in C. I was wondering if anyone here knows how I would initialise a char array such as "_ _ _ _ _ _". I want this array to have the correct number of underscore + space, based on the length of the word that is chosen.

I hope that's clear

Thank you for any help in advance!

C or C++?

This is what you need for doing it in c. http://irc.essex.ac.uk/www.iota-six.co.uk/c/f7_dynamic_memory_allocation.asp
