I have a small bit of code I made on Microsoft Visual studio that is a simple program I used to teach someone the fundamentals of C++. I am moving to Xcode and it is new to me. I need help reformatting this code so it can be run on a mac. Please help!
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <random> //this needs to be included for the rand() function
#include <time.h> //this needs to be included for the seed time
#include <windows.h>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
//PAB
int random_in_range(int a, int b)//this function will generate a random number between specified range
{
return (a+rand()%(b-a+1));
}
void hangman(){
char guess;
string word="";
string hidden ="";
int strikesLeft= 0;
int random = random_in_range(1,15);

Your major problem is that your code isn’t entirely standard C++. You used C++ code that is only available on Windows, the functions in the windows.h and conio.h header files. Any functions in those header files won’t work on a Mac.
If you want your code to run on Mac OS X, comment out the includes of windows.h and conio.h. Commenting out the includes of the Windows-specific headers will generate a ton of compiler errors, which should show you where the Windows-specific code is. Get rid of that code and stick with code that is standard C++, like cin and cout. From a quick glance at your code, the calls to Sleep() and System(“cls”) won’t work on a Mac.
