Not understanding how to fix this...

./Prompter.java:11: error: bad operand type boolean[] for unary operator '!'
while (mGame.getRemainingTries() > 0 && !mGame.isSolved()) {
^
./Prompter.java:15: error: incompatible types: boolean[] cannot be converted to boolean
if (mGame.isSolved()) {
^
9 errors

import java.io.Console;

public class Prompter { private Game mGame;

public Prompter(Game game) { mGame = game; }

public void play() { while (mGame.getRemainingTries() > 0 && !mGame.isSolved()) { displayProgress(); promptForGuess(); } if (mGame.isSolved()) { System.out.printf("Congratulations you won with %d tries remaining.\n", mGame.getRemainingTries()); }else { System.out.printf("Bummer the word was %s. :(\n", mGame.getAnswer()); } }

public boolean promptForGuess() { Console console = System.console(); boolean isHit = false; boolean isValidGuess = false; while (! isValidGuess) { String guessAsString = console.readLine("Enter a letter lil bih: "); 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()); }

}

Without seing all the code all I can do is offer a suggestion that Treehouse suggested in the past:

public boolean isSolved() { return getCurrentProgress().indexOf('-') == -1; } public void play() { while (mGame.getRemainingTries() > 0 && !mGame.isSolved()) { displayProgress(); promptForGuess(); } if (mGame.isSolved()) { System.out.printf("YAAAY, You won!!"); } else { System.out.printf("You LOST :-(.\n The answer was: %s", mGame.getAnswer()); } }
