I was not able to anticipate the code he typed in. Part of my issue was my unclear understanding of passing off variables between function: Input --> Guess --> Word–>for statement.
But having now gone through the video it made more sense and my understanding of the matter a little more clear. As I build up my c++ “vocabulary” it should be easier to figure out. If you do not know what “1”, “2”,"+", and “=” means, it will be very difficult to anticipate “3”.
That being said, I am glad to have a course teaching me the c++ “ABC’s and 123’s”, otherwise I would have cowed under the weight of the code until it bull me over.
