Prompter.java
public void displayProgress() { System.out.printf( "You have %d tries to solve %s \n " , getRemainingTries() , mGame.getCurrentProgress()); }
Game.java
public int getRemainingTries() {
return MAX_MISSES - mMisses.length();}
gives the single error when compiled: indicated on the above lines.
error: cannot find symbol
symbol: method getRemainingTries()
location: Class Prompter

iOS Development with Swift Techdegree Student 16,023 PointsHey there. In order to help, you'll need to post your code, not just the error message. If you are getting a 'cannot find symbol' message on 'while', my guess is that you've left off a semi-colon or curly brace somewhere. Post your .java file and we can help more. :)
