java - Wheel of fortune loop simple -

i trying write program game wheel of fortune, , want take in user input word start game make guesses after that. far have this.

string enterphrase = (" enter phrase : ");         string guess = "";     scanner input = new scanner (system.in);     boolean notdone = true;     while (notdone)     {         notdone = false;         for(char guessletter : enterphrase.tochararray()){              if(guess.indexof(guessletter) == -1){                 system.out.println('*');                 notdone = true;              } else {                      system.out.println(guessletter);                     }             }                 if( ! notdone) {break;}                     system.out.println("guess letter: ");                     string letter1 = input.next();                     guess += letter1;        }     system.out.println("hooray! took   guesses" );   } } 

and prints out this:

guess letter:  d  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

if on how make dashes print horizontally. , have input on each letter guess if right , @ end of program count how many times took them complete word.

system.out.println() prints string console , concatenates endline string.

if want print dashes horizontally, needing use system.out.print() - not concatenate endlines. should used when you're printing individual letters of guess (but not when you're printing "guess letter:").

to calculate how many guesses requires user whole string correct, store variable, int count, initialized 0. every time guess, increment counter 1.
