551 PointsI'm getting an error in my code..
I'm at the part where David is making a hangman game. I followed his code but it seems like there's something wrong... Help me out, please. I'm a beginner though, for what it's worth, so I would like to apoligize in advance...
public class Hangman {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Game game = new Game("treehouse" );
Prompter prompter = new Prompter(game);
boolean isHit = prompter.promptForGuess();
if (isHit){
System.out.println("We got a hit!");
} else{
System.out.println("It's a miss!");
}
}
}
class Game{
//the game logic comes here
private String answer;
private String hits;
private String misses;
public Game(String answer){
this.answer = answer;
hits = "";
misses = "";
}
public boolean applyGuess(char letter){
boolean isHit = answer.indexOf(letter) != -1;
if (isHit){
hits += letter;
} else{
misses += letter;
}
return isHit;
}
}```
```Prompter.java
import.java.util.Scanner;
class Prompter{
//all I/O is in here
private Game game;
public Prompter(Game game){
this.game = game;
}
public boolean promptForGuess(){
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a letter: ");
String guessInput = scanner.nextLine();
char guess = guessInput.charAt(0);
return game.applyGuess(guess);
}
}```
