Filing Supplies

So, I know that this is not the most usual post on /r/LearnProgramming, but I just need to tell somebody about this since none of my friends know anything about peogramming. So I’ve been reading a book on C++ for about a month, or two, and I’ve been saying to myself "If I wanted to do anything, I wouldn’t know how to do anything or start it. In the book, it goes over how to make Hangman(nothing special, no graphics or anything.) and when it’s showing you the code, i missed where it ended the while loop so whenever you enter in the wrong letter, it skips to the ending loop and tells them the answer because you haven’t reached the max number of wrong guesses.

Now as I said before, I had no idea how to do it, but then instincts kicked in and I just fixed it all and added in a couple of things that I didn’t even know I could do. It felt so good to be able to do that but I didn’t know how to do it and I just really wanted to tell someone about it.

EDIT: A lot of people have been asking what book it is, it is Learning C++ Through Game Programming 3rd edition by Michael Dawson.
