Question

JAVA PROGRAMMING

(Game: hangman) Write a hangman game that randomly generates a word and prompts the user to guess one letter at a time, as shown in the sample run. Each letter in the word is displayed as an asterisk. When the user makes a correct guess, the actual letter is then displayed. When the user finishes a word, display the number of misses and ask the user whether to continue to play with another word. Declare an array to store words, as follows: // Add any words you wish in this array String[] words = {"write", "that", ...};

the output should be something like this:

(Guess) Enter a letter in word DJEnter (Guess) Enter a letter in word p****** >r Enter (Guess) Enter a letter in word pr**p** p is already in the word (Guess) Enter a letter in word pr***> o Enter (Guess) Enter a letter in word pro r** >gEnter p Enter (Guess) Enter a letter in word progr* > n Enter n is not in the word (Guess) Enter a letter in word progr** > m (Guess) Enter a letter in word progr*m > a - The word is program. You missed 1 time Do you want to guess another word? Enter y or n> Enter Enter

   public static void main(String[] args) {
       Random r=new Random();
       String buffer[]=new String[]{"that","program","hello","ezhil","sunny","family"};
       String c="";
       do{
           compute(buffer[r.nextInt(buffer.length)]);
           System.out.println("Do you want to guess another word? Enter y or n >");
           c=sc.nextLine();
       }while(c.equals("y"));
   }
}

Explanation:

The class Abc presented here will let you play the game. A random string from array of 5 strings are taken and passed to "compute" method, where user is asked to input the data util he reaches the word and the count of his wrong guess is displayed in the end.
