Hangman project

Well, when just writing pure java source code and your project contains more than one java class. The only code that gets invoked is the code inside of the main method.

public class Example {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //only the code inside of this method is ran at compile time.
  }
}

When you have more than one class, such as in the Hangman project, each of the classes is meant to handle different logic. You have a Prompter class, a Main class, and the actual Hangman game class. Your Main class will be the class where you have your main method(There can only be one class that includes the main method, in a project that includes more than one class.).

It's worth noting, that you could technically have another main method, just not one that takes a String array as the parameter

Without seeing the actual code I couldn't tell you what each class is doing exactly. But, the reason I bring up the main method is because your Main class will most likely be the class that contains the main method, in which you invoke each of the required methods from your Prompter and Hangman class to make the game actually run.

tl:dr

Basically each class does a specific job in your project, while you could technically write all of the code necessary in one class, this quickly becomes very messy due to all of the code. It's much better practice to separate specific logic into their own java class, then invoke those methods inside of the main method to make the game actually run.

Let me know if this is confusing and I could try to re-explain a different way.

Nice answers...thanks alot...:-)
