public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent event) {

   Point mousePoint = event.getPoint();
   for(Point point : specialPointList) {
       if(mousePoint.equals(point)) {
           lightUpAPoint(point);
       }
   }
}

Would this work?

public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent event) {    specialPointList = ArrayList<Point>();    Point mousePoint = event.getPoint();    for(Point point : specialPointList) {        if(mousePoint.equals(point)) {            lightUpAPoint(point);        }    } }

One one of my homework questions, I got this one marked wrong and I still can't seem to figure out how to solve it. Was I missing a loop or a condition?

The question was as stated:
You have a GUI that keeps track of a list of pre-specified "special" points. If the user's mouse moves over one of these points, the point lights up. Write the code that would go inside of the handler/listener below. Use the references and also assume the existence of the method listed below (which you can invoke- you do not need to write).

--specialPointList // an ArrayList of the pre-specified "special" points; the type is ArrayList<Point>
--assume this method exists: public void lightUpAPoint(Point p)

Your code will go inside the handler method:
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent event) { }

This was my answer:
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent event) {    specialPointList = ArrayList<Point>();    Point mousePoint = event.getPoint();    for(Point point : specialPointList) {        lightUpAPoint(point);    } }

Thank you for the suggestions! I guess I am just trying to understand my professors example if how she first read the file but it was never explained. Is there a simpler or more beginner way of writing the for loop in her code? Because I can't seen to trace what she was trying to do making it difficult to understand.

This is how her code starts out...
import java.io.*; import java.text.NumberFormat; import java.util.*; public class Hangman2 { public static void main(String args[]) { try { int numGames = 0; int numWins = 0; int numLosses = 0; Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); String fileName = "words.txt"; Scanner fileScan = new Scanner(new File(fileName)); ArrayList words = new ArrayList(); String word; for(; fileScan.hasNext(); words.add(word)) word = fileScan.next(); char playAgain; do { numGames++; int numWords = words.size(); Random generator = new Random(); int wordNum = generator.nextInt(numWords); String selectedWord = (String)words.get(wordNum);...

Hello:)) I am a newbie to this forum as well as Java... My task is to write a Hangman program that requires exception handling and I am not sure how to begin. Specifically, how do I read in a list of words in a text file and randomly choose a word from it?

This is what I have so far...
import java.io.File; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; import java.util.*; public class Hangman { private static char[] selectedWordArray; private static boolean[] guessedLetter; private static ArrayList<Character> lettersGuessed; public static void main(String[] args) { try { Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File("words.txt")); lettersGuessed = new ArrayList<>(); selectedWordArray = scanner.toCharArray();    guessedLetter = new boolean[scanner.length()];     } catch(FileNotFoundException ex) { System.out.println("File is not found!"); } } }
