I couldn't understand what is going here. I am so confused. What is private Game game ?
For example, we use like this ; private String game. But we used Game here instead of String(I don't mean that we have to use String. It is just example.)
and also public Prompter (Game game) it is same like what I said above. Can you explain step by step please ?
private Game game;
public Prompter(Game game)
{
}

Treehouse TeacherHi hakan Gülay !
Game is a data type that we created by creating the Game class. It currently is storing the answer. We are going to use this to store the logic of hits and misses. Just like how you can pass a String object around, you can do the same with the Game instance that we created in Hangman.java.
Does that help make sense?

12,108 PointsHere's the format when declaring variables in Java:
<access modifier> <data type> <variable name>
So when we want to declare a private String named game, we write:
private String game;
When we create a class named Game, that represents a new data type. So we can create an instance of the class Game using:
private Game game;
Once created, we can invoke the class methods of Game using:
game.methodName();

Hangman.javawe created a newGameobject namedgame.Game game = new Game("treehouse");There is a class definition in the
Game.javafile. See how the newgamewe created there is of typeGame?We then pass that into the prompter object and store that in a field. The type is just like we have been doing for String, we need to specify it's type.
That help?
