So, I am following the Java objects course and working on the hangman project following along. But I am getting one error I see pretty often. I kind of know what it is, but sometimes it does not make any sense. Could someone please explain and code a solution?
It says the error is on line "33" so look out for it whilst i put the hole code. It might be hard to find so here is the line only aswell.
return MAX_MISSES - mMisses.lenght();
public class Game {
public static final int MAX_MISSES = 7;
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;
if(isHit){
mHits += letter;
} else{
mMisses += letter;
}
return isHit;
}
public String getCurrentProgress() {
String progress = "";
for (char letter : mAnswer.toCharArray()) {
char display = '-';
if (mHits.indexOf(letter) >= 0){
display = letter;
}
progress += display;
}
return progress;
}
public int getRemainingTries() {
return MAX_MISSES - mMisses.lenght();
}
}

Treehouse TeacherYou've misspelled "length". In your code it says "lenght". Try correcting the spelling and see if that helps.
