Create a hangman program.
Sample output from your program should look like the following:

C:\work>java Hangman
Current Status for userInpts=
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Enter next letter
a

Current Status for userInpts=a
_ _ _ a _ _ _
Enter next letter
e

Current Status for userInpts=ae
_ _ _ a _ _ e
Enter next letter
f

Current Status for userInpts=aef
_ _ _ a f f e
Enter next letter
g

Current Status for userInpts=aefg
g _ _ a f f e
Enter next letter
i

Current Status for userInpts=aefgi
g i _ a f f e
Enter next letter
r

Current Status for userInpts=aefgir
g i r a f f e
Congratulations: you guessed the word!!
Do you want to play again? (y or n)
y
Current Status for userInpts=
_ _ _ _ _ _
Enter next letter
a

Current Status for userInpts=a
_ a _ _ _ _
Enter next letter
b

Current Status for userInpts=ab
b a b _ _ _
Enter next letter
c

Current Status for userInpts=abc
b a b _ _ _
Enter next letter
o

Current Status for userInpts=abco
b a b o o _
Enter next letter
n

Current Status for userInpts=abcon
b a b o o n
Congratulations: you guessed the word!!
Do you want to play again? (y or n)
y
Current Status for userInpts=
_ _ _ _ _ _
Enter next letter
a

Current Status for userInpts=a
_ _ _ _ _ _
Enter next letter
e

Current Status for userInpts=ae
_ _ _ _ e _
Enter next letter
i

Current Status for userInpts=aei
_ _ _ _ e _
Enter next letter
o

Current Status for userInpts=aeio
_ o _ _ e _
Enter next letter
p

Current Status for userInpts=aeiop
_ o _ _ e _
Enter next letter
m

Current Status for userInpts=aeiopm
m o _ _ e _
Enter next letter

Current Status for userInpts=aeiopmn
m o n _ e _
Enter next letter
k

Current Status for userInpts=aeiopmnk

Your program should fit the following programming structure:s

import java.util.*;

    class Hangman
    {
        static Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        static Random rand = new Random();
        
        // The following routine will determin if the character c
        // is inside the String str.  A true is returned if it is inside.
        
        static boolean isIn(char c, String str)
        {
           String str1.rand;
           if (str1.indexOf('c')!=-1);
                   return true;
          
         
        
        // If userInputs contains "ard" and strToGuess contains "aardvark" then
        // the following routine prints out an output that looks something like:
        //
        // Current Status for userInpts=ard
        // a a r d _ a r _
        
        // This routine returns true if all letters were guessed, otherwise false is returned.

        static String getNextWordToGuess()

You have your requirements and everything in crystal clear manner. All you have to do is learn the java syntax and some API classes and start coding yourself. No one takes the pain of doing your homework . It's your homework and pain is also yours .
Atleast try some code and ask doubts if you are stuck somewhere while coding..
