    <p>This is my code that i have written so far. The problem is that when it asks for how many tries and I put 3 it only lets me try 3 times no matter what, even if I guess wrong or right. The tries represent how many times you get the guess wrong. So I if didn't get the word in 3 tries then it would stop the game. That's my problem.</p> <pre><code>import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class Hangman { public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException { String[] dictionary = loadWords(); Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Welcome to Hangman!"); System.out.println("How many tries"); int tries = kb.nextInt(); String word = chooseWord(dictionary); System.out.println("OK, I've choseen my word. Start guessing"); System.out.println(word); boolean[] bool = new boolean[26]; for(int i = 0; i &lt; tries; i++) { String wordguess = kb.next(); char guess = wordguess.charAt(0); processGuess(guess, word, bool); printPattern(word, bool); } } // Loads a list of words from a file and returns the lsit as a String[]. public static String[] loadWords() throws FileNotFoundException { ArrayList&lt;String&gt; wordList = new ArrayList&lt;String&gt;(); Scanner wordFile = new Scanner(new File("dictionary.txt")); String line; while (wordFile.hasNextLine()) { line = wordFile.nextLine(); if(!line.equals("")) wordList.add(line); } String[] result = new String[1]; return wordList.toArray(result); } // Takes an array of strings that represents the valid words as a parameter. // Chooses one such word randomly and returns it. public static String chooseWord(String[] dict) { Random r = new Random(); int numword = r.nextInt(dict.length); String hangword = dict[numword]; return hangword; } // Checks if a player has won the game // Returns true only if all letters in the word have been guessed public static boolean hasWon(String word, boolean[] guesses) { for(int i = 0; i &lt; word.length(); i++) { if (guesses[word.charAt(i)-'a'] == false){ return false; } } return true; } // Prints out the pattern of letters in the secret word based on the word // and the letters that have been guessed. // Prints any letter that has already been guessed and a _ for a letter that // has not been guessed. public static void printPattern(String word, boolean[] guesses) { StringBuilder pattern = new StringBuilder(); for(int i = 0; i &lt; word.length(); i++) { if (guesses[word.charAt(i) - 'a']) { pattern.append(word.charAt(i)); } else { pattern.append("_"); } pattern.append(" "); } System.out.println(pattern.toString()); } // Handles a guess by marking the letter as guessed and returns the number of // tries to be charged: 0 if the guessed letter is in the word and 1 otherwise. public static int processGuess(char guess, String word, boolean[] guesses) { if(guesses[(guess - 'a')] == false){ guesses[(guess - 'a')] = true; } else { System.out.println("you already guessed that letter"); } return guess; } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
