Bingo! You won.

This is my program:

import java.util.*;
       class GuessWordJava {
         public static void main ( String[] args ){
           Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
           System.out.print("\n Enter secret entence : ");
           String sentence = scanner.next();
                int length = sentence.length();
          while( true) {
            char letter;
            System.out.print("\n Enter your guess : ");
            char ch = scanner.next().charAt(0);
            if ( ch == ' ') {break;}
               String str="";
            for (int i = 0; i < length; i++){
               letter = sentence.charAt(i);
                 if ( letter == ch ){
                      str=str+letter;
                } else {
                      str= str+ "-";
                } 
              }
           System.out.print(str);

Reason for edit:: added code tags

I really dont know what you are asking. You want to format your console output in a certain way? Also, use code tags for your code, its not hard.

I want to output as :
- - - -
S
- - - -
A
- A - A
V
- A V A
D
- A V A
J
J A V A

Thank for you help!

Put

around your code.

It seems like you're trying to do a sort-of hangman type game, right? Maybe you could store the sentence's letters into an array or something and copy them to a new one as they are being guessed. Once that array is full, complete.

I too am confused. What exactly are you asking for help with?

There are plenty of things you could do to improve this but rather than just throwing ideas at you, it would be nice to know what you want to improve.

Hangman I mean

Program outputs:
_ _ _ _

User enter "S"

Program outputs:
_ _ _ _

User enters "A"

Program outputs:
_ A _ A


You will have to learn how to descrive your problem, if you can't explain better a simple hangman what will it be when you will have to write a mortgage calculator using a GUI
