Word Finder in C++

[wbmca]

I am new to C++ and need help. I'm trying to create a program in which a user is prompted to enter a character and an integer. The program will attempt to find words that begin with the character and have all adjacent characters the specified distance apart.


The program begins by showing the 2-character "word" with the given first character and the second character the specified distance from the first character. The user is asked, "Is this a word?

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Sure, what do you have so far, or what do you need help with?

Sure, what do you have so far, or what do you need help with?

This is what I have so far:

#include<iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
 
int main()
{
char more, letter='a', next;
int count = 1;
 
 do
{
    system("cls");
    for ( int i = 0; i < count; ++i )
{ 
   next=letter + i;
            cout << next;
        }
        cout << "\nAnother? ";
        cin >> more;
        ++count;
    }while( more == 'y' );

This is what I have so far:



#include<iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;

int main()
{
char more, letter='a', next;
int count = 1, num;

do
{
system("cls");
for ( int i = 0; i < count; ++i )
{
next=letter + i;
cout << next;
}
cout << "\nAnother? ";
cin >> more;
++count;
}while( more == 'y' );

do
{
cout << "Enter the distance (must be between 2 and 25}";
cin >> num;

}while (num >= 1 && num <= 25);

return 0;
{

I'm lost from here. Once I put in a number for the distance, how do I get a letter to print out and then ask for another one.

this is what I need it to do:

Enter the first character: a
Enter the distance: 15
Is ap a word? n
Is ape a word? y
Found a 3-letter word!

and
Example Run 2:
Enter the first character: p
Enter the distance: 2
Is pr a word? n
Is prt a word? n
Is prtv a word? n
Is prtvx a word? n
Is prtvxz a word? n
Is prtvxzb a word? n
Is prtvxzbd a word? n
Is prtvxzbdf a word? n
Is prtvxzbdfh a word? n
Is prtvxzbdfhj a word? n
Is prtvxzbdfhjl a word? n
Is prtvxzbdfhjln a word? n
