Hello team,

I get stuck with below code:

class NewGame { GuessAttempts GuessAttempts = new GuessAttempts(); private String WordToGuess; private String CorrectGuesses; private String misses; int guessAttempts; int MAX_Guesses = 9;

public NewGame(String WordToGuess) { this.WordToGuess = WordToGuess; CorrectGuesses = ""; misses = ""; guessAttempts = 0; }

public boolean UserGuessing(char letter) {
    boolean isHit = WordToGuess.indexOf(letter) != -1;
    if (isHit) {
        CorrectGuesses += letter;
    } else {
        misses += letter;
    }
    guessAttempts =+ 1;
    return isHit;
}
if (guessAttemts = MaxGuesses) {
System.out.println("Sorry you used all your nine chances. Game Over.");
}

I just cant iniciate

if (guessAttemts = MaxGuesses) { System.out.println("Sorry you used all your nine chances. Game Over."); }

guessAttemts and MaxGuesses are marked on red, but why?

It's a bit hard to read the unformatted code, but it would appear that both guessAttemts and MaxGuesses are both being referenced without having been declared.

In future, when posting code use Markdown formatting.

Ok, so i will try to reformat code display :

class NewGame { GuessAttempts GuessAttempts = new GuessAttempts(); 
private String WordToGuess; 
private String CorrectGuesses;
 private String misses;
 int guessAttempts;
 int MAX_Guesses = 9;

public NewGame(String WordToGuess) { this.WordToGuess = WordToGuess; CorrectGuesses = ""; misses = ""; guessAttempts = 0; }

public boolean UserGuessing(char letter) {
    boolean isHit = WordToGuess.indexOf(letter) != -1;
    if (isHit) {
        CorrectGuesses += letter;
    } else {
        misses += letter;
    }
    guessAttempts =+ 1;
    return isHit;
}
if (guessAttemts = MaxGuesses) {
System.out.println("Sorry you used all your nine chances. Game Over.");
}
