12,086 PointsTry to connect the challenge tasks with the lesson tasks. It's a good strategy throughout the course.
public static final int MAX_MISSES = 7;
public int getRemainingTries() {
return MAX_MISSES - mMisses.length();
}
- Instead of MAX_MISSES, you are making MAX_CHARS
- Instead of getRemainingTries, you are making getRemainingChars
