prompting for guesses | Java

I keep getting an error message in the console from this code below.

public class Hangman {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Enter amazing code here:
      Game game = new Game("treehouse");
      Prompter prompter = new Prompter(game);
      boolean isHit = prompter.promptForGuess();
      is (isHit) {
        System.out.println("We got a hit!");
      } else {
        System.out.println("Whoops that was a miss");
      }
    }
}

Here is the error message I get.

Hangman.java:8: error: ';' expected
is (isHit) {
^
Hangman.java:10: error: 'else' without 'if'
} else {
^
2 errors

Hi there,

I think you mean if (isHit), not is.

Make sense?

Steve.
