@d4rk4ng31 It’s called the “trailing return type” auto f() -> T is equivalent to T f()

One more thing. I have never seen this syntax. What does auto Hangman::guess() -> State do?

@d4rk4ng31I Yeah, it still works in C11 AFAIK, but please note that the notion of "register" doesn't exist in the C or C++ standards, so it exists merely as a recommendation to the implementation. The recommendation isn't always respected, anyway - the implementation is free to put a non-register variable in registers, and free to put a register variable outside registers.

| Sep 9, 2019 at 16:02 | comment | added | pacmaninbw♦ | @d4rk4ng31 Good optimizing compilers will do a better job of allocating registers than the author (supposedly). Good optimizing compilers may modify the algorithm as well. | |

@d4rk4ng31 register is specified to have no meaning since C++11, and "poisoned" since C++17 (i.e., using it is ill-formed)

@d4rk4ng31 Yeah, <random> is a big one. You need to construct an engine first (e.g., mt19937) and then use a uniform int distribution to generate an index from, say, 0 to 25.

Also, is there any specific reason for compiler to ignore register keyword?

@d4rk4ng31 As I said before, rand() is a low-quality RNG and should not be used. C++11 offers the <random> header which contains high-quality RNG.

| Sep 7, 2019 at 9:09 | comment | added | L. F. | @d4rk4ng31 You are welcome. Essentially, the game needs to keep track of some states (the word, the current guessed letters, lives left), so it is advised to use a class to encapsulate them. | |
