Question

" The code must be written in Loop and Libarary Methods "

There is a "fun" children's game where one child thinks of a "common phrase", then the second child repeatedly makes guesses as to the letters that it contains.

You are to write a Java program that:

    1. Prompts a user to enter a "common phrase", and reads it into a variable using Scanner.nextLine() - under the assumption that the phrase consists of nothing but undercase letters and spaces.

2.   A counter is set to zero.

3. The following is than repeated until the entire "common phrase" is revealed:

       a) The "common phrase" is displayed with all of the letters (that have not yet been correctly guessed) replaced with the ? character and all of the letters that have been correctly guessed displayed as is.

        b) Using a user input validation loop, the second user is prompted to enter a single lowercase letter guess.

       c) A counter is incremented.

4. Once the "common phrase" is revealed, you must also report the total number of valid guesses that were made to do so.

Hints:

    Store the letters that have been correctly guessed in an initially empty ("") String object, using the concatenation operator (+=).

    A fair amount of partial credit shall be given for just being able to respond with "correct" / "incorrect" for each second user guess.

Sample run(s):
