Hi, I'm new here. I have been looking around for the last few months. Very new to java and I need help with this assignment. I am to program hangman, I know that this has been asked multiple times. I just cannot seem to find the answers that I need. This is what I have so far. I can't seem to figure out what I need to do to print the letters in the correct underscore. I was thinking the block comment section can be used to search for used letters. I think that is all that I have to do in my assignment, and it's the stuff that I don't understand or cannot think of a way to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

}I also have one last class which is hangPlayer. All this has is holding information of the player. name, wins, misses. And then a StringBuilder which returns the information in a neat and organized way.
