7,515 PointsGetting 5 errors? symbol: method getCurrentProgress()
I'm currently getting five errors on my code for current progress, and I've done everything exactly like the video and I don't know what is going on when I run the code?
symbol: method getCurrentProgress()
location: variable mGame of type Game
5 errors
import java.io.Console;
public class Prompter {
private Game mGame;
public Prompter (Game game) {
mGame = game;
}
public boolean promptForGuess() {
Console console = System.console();
String guessAsString = console.readLine("Enter a letter: ");
char guess = guessAsString.charAt(0);
return mGame.applyGuess(guess);
}
public void displayProgress() {
System.out.printf("Try to solve: %s\n", mGame.getCurrentProgress());
}
}

3,185 PointsI don't know how far in the course you are but your code should look like this for the Prompter class...excluding the play() method, I left that out because again I don't know haw far you are in the course.
import java.io.Console;
public class Prompter {
private Game mGame;
public Prompter(Game game)
{
mGame = game;
}
public boolean promptForGuess()
{
Console console = System.console();
boolean isHit = false;
boolean isValidGuess = false;
while (!isValidGuess)
{
String guessAsString = console.readLine("Enter a letter: ");
try {
isHit = mGame.applyGuess(guessAsString);
isValidGuess = true;
}
catch (IllegalArgumentException iae)
{
console.printf("%s. Please try again.\n", iae.getMessage());
}
}
return isHit;
}
public void displayProgress()
{
System.out.printf("You have %d tries left to solve: %s\n.",
mGame.getRemainingTries(),
mGame.getCurrentProgress());
}
}
