Cannot find this null exception error for the fucking life of me.

[Saldychips]

I'm getting Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at HangmanWord.guess(HangmanWord.java:29) at Hangman.main(Hangman.java:16)"

I am not sure why this is happening? The code I have, returns no null as far as I see. I'm not sure why.. To be more specific, when I run the guess method, in the main class, I get an error.

Code-Second Class:

import java.util.*;


public class HangmanWord {

private String word;
private String[] possibleWords = {
"Hello",
"Goodbye",
"Apple"
};
private char[] progress;
private int wrongCount = 0;
//Constructor
public HangmanWord() {
Random random = new Random();
String word = possibleWords[(int)(Math.random() * possibleWords.length)];
progress = word.toCharArray();
for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {
progress[i] = '-';
}


}
public void display() {
for (int i = 0; i < progress.length; i++) {
System.out.print(progress[i]);
}
System.out.println("");
}
public boolean guess(char c) {
boolean matchFound = false;
for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {

if (word.charAt(i) == c) {
progress[i] = c;
matchFound = true;
}

}
return matchFound;

}
public boolean isSolved() {

for (int i = 0; i < progress.length; i++) {
if (progress[i] == '-') {
return false;
}

}

return true;
}
public int getWrongCount() {
return wrongCount;
}

public String getWord() {
return word;
}



}


}


Main class:

import java.util.Scanner;

import java.util.Random;

public class Hangman {


public static void main(String args[]) {

final int MAX_INCORRECT = 5;

boolean playing = true;

while (playing) {

System.out.println("Welcome to Hangman");

HangmanWord wordObj = new HangmanWord();

System.out.print("Here is your word: ");

wordObj.display();

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

String guess = input.nextLine();

char guessChar = guess.charAt(0);

System.out.print("Your guess: " + guessChar);

if (wordObj.guess(guessChar) == true) {

System.out.println("Correct!");

}

"Reason: Better format"
U should buy a pair of glasses and a book for Java.

I wont even read the code in the current format but in the blink of an eye i saw u are trying this:

class Kappa
{
private int num =0;

public Kappa(){
int num = 1;
}

public int getNum(){
return num;
}
}

class Keepo
{
public static void main(String args[]){
Kappa obj = new Kappa();
System.out.println(obj.getNum());
}
}

Thats wrong

The horrible formatting is because it automatically did that when I pasted the code on here. Also, I realized half of my main class, was not posted in it. I'll update it. Now getting to your comment. I respect you for actually somewhat going over it but no where in my main class do I try to print a method. Not quite sure where you see that at. I print "Here is your word: "; next line I call the method. But looking more at your comment, can you expand more on why I can't use it? Anyway, I'll just upload it through imgur.

Nah it's all good. Pretty sure I know what's up.

You can use [code ] code here [/code ] to keep formatting.

if u knew how it works,then u wouldnt create topic about it in a dead programming sub-forum.
Also,if u knew what debugging is,u wouldnt ask "why i m getting nullpointer in this code".Its not just u dont know how to use programs like eclipse....Its about not knowing how to use a couple of prints.(Specific print result-error)
Reread 2nd lesson notes: how "this" works.

Now we are good

Appreciate it. After I posted that I read up about debugging and finding the null exception. And ended up finding what was wrong. Thus, is why I said "I'm pretty sure I know what's up" and I did right after I posted that. Not sure why your comment is needed after I said that? But clearly you missread by comment. Thank you for the pointless after quote, but like I said above, I know what's up.

Close thread, problem has been resolved.
