Cannot invoke equals(char) on the primitive type char

Question

I\'m new to programming and trying to nut out a basic guessing game, but I have this error. Need some help as I\'ve set \'guess\' to char, then want to compare

Answer 1

Primitives are compared with ==. If you convert the chars to the wrapper classes Character, then you can use .equals().

Either change

1. char guess; to Character guess;

   or

2. if(guess.equals(wordContainer[j])) to if(guess == wordContainer[j])).
