Hangman CPP

This C++ program implements a hangman game where the user tries to guess a randomly selected country name. The program initializes an unknown word with asterisks for each letter and allows the user up to 5 guesses to reveal the word. For each guess, the program checks if the letter is in the word and fills in the unknown word accordingly. If the user guesses incorrectly too many times, they lose, and if they reveal the entire word, they win.
