Bingo! You won.

This is my program:

import java.util.*;
class GuessWordJava {
public static void main ( String[] args ){
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
//scanner.useDelimiter(System.getProperty("line.sepa rator"));
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);
}
}
}

In the poll thread I closed (and have now removed) I asked you to go through some links before starting a new thread. Clearly, you didn't bother.

Consider using a char array to hold the guessed letters. Iterate over the secret word and for each guessed letter copy it into the array at the same position.

Please send to me - code for solution ! Thank for your help!

Are you nuts? Sending code isn't helping; you probably wouldn't understand it anyway and you'd probably try to run it without looking at it or understanding the code; it might attempt to destroy the world as we know it. Do you take the blame?

He was kidding you. I'm sure he would be happy to write the code for you at his current rate. Well, maybe not after you called him a fool. Do they have mirrors where you live?

I finish my program - This is my complete programe!

import java.util.*;
class  GuessWordJava {
	public static void main ( String[] args) {
		Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.print("\n Enter sentence : ");	
		String str = scanner.next();
		StringBuffer str1 = new StringBuffer();
		System.out.print("\n Enter char : ");	
		char ch = scanner.next().charAt(0);
		char letter;
		for( int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)	{
			letter = str.charAt(i);
			if ( letter ==ch){
				str1.append(ch);
			} else {
				str1.append('-');
		}
		}
		System.out.println(str1);
		while(true) {
		System.out.print("\n Enter char : ");	
		char ch1 = scanner.next().charAt(0);
		for( int j = 0; j < str.length(); j++)	{
			letter = str.charAt(j);
			if ( letter == ch1){
				str1.setCharAt(j,ch1);
				}
		}
		System.out.println(str1);
