4,479 PointsSystem.out.print... problem
So here is the snapshot of my workspaces: https://w.trhou.se/nzxiv6oj5q
Problem is that even though in my Main class I have:
if (prompter.promptForGuess()) {
System.out.println("You've guessed");
} else {
System.out.println("You've not guessed");
}
and in Prompter class I have"
public void displayProgress() {
System.out.printf("You have %d tries left to solve: %s%n",
game.getRemainingTries(),
game.getCurrentProgress());
}
when I run the code and I type in letter and press enter(doesn't matter if the letter is in the answer), console shows:
Enter a letter:
g
Enter a letter:
meaning, that after "g" it doesn't display the text "You've guessed"/"You've not guessed", neither it displays the progress text "You have %d tries left to solve: %s%n".
Please, help me.

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 38,322 PointsYou're actually asking the prompter to ask for a letter 2 times before displaying the progress
prompter.promptForGuess(); // here you're asking for a letter the first time
if (prompter.promptForGuess()) { // here you're asking the prompter for a letter again
System.out.println("You've guessed");
} else {
System.out.println("You've not guessed");
}

4,479 PointsThank you so much for the answer :) That's so obvious now, I fail to understand how could I not see it before.
