basic help needed

[CurtisJC]

Hey all, this is my first post, i've been using Java for about 5 months now and I'm still pretty new to programming let alone the language.

I need some help with some code:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class HangMan
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
String strDash = "__________";
String strWord = "helloworld";

while(true)
{
System.out.println(strDash);
System.out.println("Pick a letter");
String s = sc.next();
char c = s.charAt(0);

for(int i = 0;i < strWord.length() - 1; i++)
{
if(strWord.charAt(i) == c)
{
strDash.charAt(i) = c;
}
}
}
}
}

I'm trying to change the letters in strDash if they match with the users input compared to strWord and getting:

HangMan.java:30: unexpected type
required: variable
found : value
strDash.charAt(i) = c;
^
1 error

No idea what's wrong with that line and i think it must be a simple answer but just can't figure it out, thanks in advance for any help you can provide :)

Because a String is immutable (it can't be changed). Look at the API docs String, the method replace, and assign the result to a new String.

Here's the link to the Java 6 APIs:
Java Platform SE 6

Here's the link to the particular String replace() method:
String Replace ()
