Thread: Help with java char Array

Working on a Hangman Game. Trying to add a guess(char variable) into char array and display a list of guessed letters. Please help this piece code isn't working

while(guessedWord.toString().equals(test.toString( )) == false && errors < 5)
		  {  
		  	 System.out.print("Guess Letter: ");
          Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
          guess = scan.next().charAt(0);
			 char[] guessedLetters = new char [10];           //THE PROBLEM
 
			 System.out.println(guessedLetters);                //THE OTHER PROBLEM
 
			 //System.out.println("Letters Already Used: "+ lettersGuessed[0]);
          for(int i = 0; i < guessedWord.length(); i++){	 //check if letter has been guessed		 	
 
			 if(guessedWord.charAt(i) == guess)
			 {       
			 		test.setCharAt(i, guess);
					System.out.println(test);
			 }
 
			 			   											 }
			 if(word.indexOf(guess) == -1 )          //if letter not in secret then errors goes up by 1 and while loop continues
			 {
                 errors++;
			 }
 
			 if(guessedWord.toString().equals(test.toString( )) == true)
			 {
			 	score = (5 - errors);
				cum += score;
				System.out.println("\nYou win !!!");
				System.out.println("Your cumlative score is: " + cum);
				initGame();
			 }
 
			 if(errors == 5)
			 {
				String name;
				Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
			 	System.out.println("\nYou lose !!!");
				System.out.println("Your score is: " + cum);
				System.out.print("Please enter your name: ");
				name = input.nextLine();
				myWord.setSaveScore(name, cum);
				cum = 0;
				initGame();
			 }

If I were you I'd start with some pseudo code and then start programming it and if you run into any errors it would be a lot easier to help.

Something like:
While loop to keep the user entering until ran out of guesses and you could use a counter to keep track of number of guesses
Going to need a scanner to get the input from keyboard
int x; // storage variable
For loop to access all the index's in the array
x = Integer.parseInt(s); (Trying to give a hint)
Let the index of the loop equal x

Hope this helps.

Ah I'm glad to see you revised your post haha!

I don't think you can just print guessedLetters like you have.

Try this:

import java.util.Arrays;
.
.
.
System.out.println( Arrays.toString( guessedLetters ) );

Doesn't really answer my intended question. If you have a look at my code above. Im having problems when displaying all the guessed letters. As in when user guesses it stores in array then displays it
