Both are IDE with their own compiler. Borland uses VCL as interface components (Delphi UI lib too)for native app while Ms VC uses mainly MFC for native app.


It is like apple and orange. both are fruits.

Extra:

Borland C++ last version is 5.02 which is many years ago.
Borland C++Builder 6 is Borland's 'last' C++ only tools (ok still can compile Delphi) for standard Windows app.
Borland C++BuilderX mainly for embeded or cross-platform app.
Borland Developer Studio is the latest one-stop gigantic development suite.

I give you the basic Idea la OK

int main ()
{
char guess;
char input[4] = {'p', 'i', 'g'};
for (int j = 1; j < 4; i++) cout<<"*";
cout<<endl;
cout<<"Guess a letter:";
cin<<guess;
for (int i =1; i < 4; i++)
{
//remember keep track of the correctly guessed letters
if (guess == input[i])
cout<<"the word with the letter reveal is";
else
cout<<"No such letter in word"
}
}

Then you fix it yourself, this one every general idea how to do your game... not even functioning... hehe.. Need to loop the input for user to guess every letter. Put your limit loop to max of you characters in the word you pick.
