427 PointsCannot find symbol error in my Hangman game.
I'm actually writting this code :
public class Hangman {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Game game = new Game("elephant");
Prompter prompter = new Prompter(game);
boolean isHit = promter.promtForGuess();
if(isHit) {
System.out.println("You got a hit !");
} else {
System.out.println("Whoops that was a miss...");
}
}
}
But when I'm compiling it this error came out :
Hangman.java:6: error: cannot find symbol
boolean isHit = promter.promtForGuess();
^
symbol: variable promter
location: class Hangman
And I search how to fix this but I did not succeed. How can I fix this ?
