21,052 PointsWorkspaces is giving me an error.
I am following along in Workspaces, and have verified that my code matches the video, but when I try to run, I get this error:
./Prompter.java:13: error: incompatible types: String cannot be converted to boolean
String guessAsString = console.readline("Enter a Letter: ");
^
Note: Some messages have been simplified; recompile with -Xdiags:verbose to get full output

here is the Prompter.java
import java.io.Console;
public class Prompter {
private Game mGame;
public Prompter (Game game) {
mGame = game;
}
public boolean promptForGuess() {
Console console = System.console();
String guessAsString = console.readline("Enter a Letter: ");
char guess = guessAsString.charAt(0);
return mGame.applyGuess(guess);
}
here is Hangman.java
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();
if (isHit) {
System.out.println("We got a hit!");
} else {
System.out.println("Nope");
}
}
}
and Game.java
public class Game {
private String mAnswer;
private String mHits;
private String mMisses;
public Game(String answer) {
mAnswer = answer;
mHits = "";
mMisses = "";
}
public boolean applyGuess(char letter) {
boolean isHit = mAnswer.indexOf(letter) >=0;
if (isHit) {
mHits += letter;
} else {
mMisses += letter;
}
return isHit;
}
}
Please help as this is killing me slowly.

should be readLine
. It's case sensitive. That's a pretty weird error. Sorry for the stump. Keep at it!
