Courses Plus Student 2,494 PointsDon't understand necessity of both Game game = new Game ("treehouse"); and Prompter prompter = new Prompter (game);
Does instantiating prompter not already also instantiate the game object and if so why does it need to be instantiated again by applying Game game = new Game ("treehouse"); ?

"Game<--is the Datatyp or "Class" , game <-- the name of the Objekt. the ("treehouse") part is there because if u check your Game.java file you should see an Constructor, something like this:
public Game(String answer) {
mAnswer=answer;
mHits ="";
mMisses="";
}
the word ("treehouse") = input String answer in your Constructor. Then its stored in the mAnswer String.
i hope this kinda helped. I know im not the best at explaining.

Courses Plus Student 2,494 PointsOk that makes sense. I think I was ignoring the fact that a constructor was applied and requires an answer to be passed through. Pointing that out helped, Thanks
