Why should we continue to help when you haven't taken previous advice?

Because Im a high school studnet. Half the words you guys are saying are not making sense to me. If you just tell me what i have to change then I should be fine

[modi123_1]

Yeah, but if we just tell you then that would be cheating if you turned in the work without learning what's up!

I don't want to come across as rude when I say this, but we really don't care if you're a high school student. I was a high school student learning to program at one point too, as were many of our members. We know what it's like to be new to programming. We treat everyone the same way, though, and we have the same expectations of effort.

Then you need to step back for a moment and do things like read the documentation and ask questions. We're all here because we enjoy helping others. Members who make a good faith effort get a lot more out of our help than members who don't want to do any thinking. This applies to any type of learning really.

What specifically don't you understand? Ask specific questions and you will get better results.

but can you guys please just help me

The responses you've gotten have been trying to help.

Its telling me that playerGuess is not displayed in the current context. This is found on the line right under "Console.WriteLine(guess);". Can you guys show me what I can do to make it into the current context?

Reason for edit:: Please start using code tags. You have been asked a few times now.

[macosxnerd101]

Please use code tags: . We have this request plastered around the site, and you have been asked before to use them.

As for your problem, you declare playerGuess in your while loop. Thus, it is local to your loop and cannot be accessed outside of your loop. You should declare the variable outside of your loop.

[Mikey1200]

I did that and this is what I came up with. It is telling me I have unreachable code

Attached image(s)

• 

[macosxnerd101]

You have an infinite loop, out of which you never break. Thus, you can't access any code after your loop.

In the future, please post your code using code tags, rather than as an image. It makes it easier if we need to copy your code to run some tests.

[JackOfAllTrades]

You should take some time and write out on paper, via a flowchart, what it is you want your program to do.

[Mikey1200]

Alright guys this is what I have come up with! Everything works my question is I need to make a variable for if you guess the word correct. I just need help making the variable for "win" Any one help? I am going to enter the code for this where the comments are near the end of the code:

            Console.WriteLine("|  |   |   |   |");
            Console.WriteLine("|  |   |   |   |");
            Console.WriteLine("__________________");

I dont know how to use them

[macosxnerd101]

It's BBCode, which is similar to HTML. Seriously, quote a post with the syntax highlighted code or read my last post or anywhere else on the site. It's plastered everywhere how to use them.
