Console is playing up again

Hi. When I typed in

Game game = new Game("treehouse");

I got this error message on the console:

java.util.NoSuchElementException

Here's the code for my Java programs, starting with Game.java:

public class Game {
  private String mAnswer;
  private String mHits;
  private String mMisses;

  public Game(String answer) {
    mAnswer = answer;
    mHits = "";
    mMisses = "";
  }

  public boolean applyGuess(char letter) {
    boolean isHit = mAnswer.indexOf(letter) >= 0;
    return isHit;
    if (isHit) {
      mHits += letter;
    } else {
      mMisses += letter;
    }
  }
}

Next, Prompter.java:

public class Prompter {

}

Lastly, Hangman.java:

public class Hangman {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Enter amazing code here:
        Game game = new Game("treehouse");
    }

}

I did type :load Game.java first.

I would appreciate any help please.

Thanks

Sean :-)

Hi Sean, Try erasing the line from your main method Game game = new Game("treehouse"); It worked for me. Good luck I hope that works for you.

I have modified this part of your code. Maybe this could work, but I am not sure.

 public boolean applyGuess(char letter) {
    boolean isHit = mAnswer.indexOf(letter) >= 0;
    if (isHit) {
      mHits += letter;
    } else {
      mMisses += letter;
    }
  return isHit;
  }

Hi Grigorij. I tried your code and got another error message on the line:

if (isHit) {

I'd be grateful for any other ideas.

Thanks

Sean :-)

I typed:

Game game = new Game("Treehouse");

I got:

"-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' "

Cheers
