Hangman syntax

[omurad]

Here are the functions for my hangman. I don't know if you'd like to run it for yourself but my variables aren't updating. For example after I input a guess, the string "lettersGuessedString" doesn't get update to add the letter that was correctly. Please suggest edits to fix this.

void hangman()
{
cout << "Welcome to Hangman!" << endl << endl;

string hangmanWords [4] = { "computer", "charcoal", "refrigerator", "automobile" } ;
srand(time(NULL));
int hangmanShuffler = rand() % 4;

string wordToGuess = hangmanWords [hangmanShuffler];

//Set up an array with the letters in the word to guess
int wordToGuessLength = hangmanWords [hangmanShuffler].length();
cout << "Your word has " << wordToGuessLength << " letters in it" << endl << endl;

string lettersToGuess [wordToGuessLength];

int letterInputting;

string lettersGuessedString [wordToGuessLength];

for ( letterInputting=0; letterInputting < wordToGuessLength; letterInputting++ )
{
lettersToGuess [letterInputting] = wordToGuess [letterInputting];
lettersGuessedString [letterInputting] = "-";
}

int lettersGuessed = 0;
int attemptsAllowed = 7;
int attemptsTaken = 0;


//Actual Game
while ( lettersGuessed < wordToGuessLength && attemptsTaken < attemptsAllowed)
{
	int incorrectGuess = 0;

		if (incorrectGuess == 0)
		{
			hangman0X();
		}
		else if (incorrectGuess == 1)
		{
			hangman1X();
		}
		else if (incorrectGuess == 2)
		{
			hangman2X();
		}
		else if (incorrectGuess == 3)
		{
			hangman3X();
		}
		else if (incorrectGuess == 4)
		{
			hangman4X();
		}
		else if (incorrectGuess == 5)
		{
			hangman5X();
		}
		else if (incorrectGuess == 6)
		{
			hangman6X();
		}
		else if (incorrectGuess == 7)
		{
			hangman7X();
		}

	++attemptsTaken;
	cout << "This is attempt # " << attemptsTaken << endl << endl;
	cout << "Type in your guess and press 'Enter'" << endl << endl;

	int guessInputting;

		for ( guessInputting = 0; guessInputting < letterInputting; guessInputting++)
		{
			cout << lettersGuessedString [guessInputting];
		}

		cout << endl << endl;

	string currentGuess;
	cin >> currentGuess;



	for ( int i = 0; i <= guessInputting; ++i )
	{
		if (currentGuess == lettersToGuess[i])
		{
			cout << "You guessed right!" << endl << endl;

			lettersToGuess[i] = currentGuess;

		hangman();
		}
		else
		{
			cout << "You guessed wrong :/" << endl << endl;

		++incorrectGuess;

		hangman();
		}
	}

You set incorrectGuess to 0 at line 35. You then check the value of incorrectGuess in lines 37-68. It's value will never not be 0.
