explanation.

Java Code:
import [Link].*;

public class Hangman {


public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] words = {"python", "programming", "hangman", "developer", "computer"};
Random random = new Random();
String word = words[[Link]([Link])];

char[] guessedWord = new char[[Link]()];


[Link](guessedWord, '_');

List<Character> guessedLetters = new ArrayList<>();


int attempts = 6;

Scanner scanner = new Scanner([Link]);

[Link]("Welcome to Hangman!");

while (attempts > 0 && new String(guessedWord).contains("_")) {


[Link]("\nWord: " + [Link](guessedWord));
[Link]("Guessed letters: " + guessedLetters);
[Link]("Attempts left: " + attempts);

[Link]("Enter a letter: ");


char guess = [Link]().toLowerCase().charAt(0);

if ([Link](guess)) {
[Link]("You already guessed that letter!");
continue;
}

[Link](guess);

if ([Link](guess) >= 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < [Link](); i++) {
if ([Link](i) == guess) {
guessedWord[i] = guess;
}
}
[Link]("Correct guess!");
} else {
attempts--;
[Link]("Wrong guess!");
}
}

if (!new String(guessedWord).contains("_")) {
[Link]("\nCongratulations! You guessed the word: " + word);
} else {
[Link]("\nGame Over! The word was: " + word);
}

[Link]();
}
}
