Hi Ashmit,

It's basically taking the first character (char) from the string guessmaker and assigning it to the new String guess.

Let's say String guessmaker = "hello";

When you say guessmaker.charAt(0) you're getting the first character in the string guessmaker which in this case is 'h'.

In the example I explained above guess would contain a string of "h"
