My work: public class Hangman {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Your incredible code goes here...
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("Oops missed");
}
}
}
Errors:
Hangman.java:9: error: unclosed string literal
System.out.println("We got a hit!);
^
Hangman.java:9: error: ';' expected
System.out.println("We got a hit!);
^
Hangman.java:10: error: 'else' without 'if'
} else {
^
Hangman.java:14: error: reached end of file while parsing
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're close here, but you missed a quotation mark. This is what is meant by "unclosed string literal".
You wrote:
System.out.println("We got a hit!);
But there should be a quote to start the string and finish it, like so:
// Note the " after the !
System.out.println("We got a hit!");
Hope this helps!
