THIS IS FOR JAVA

I have to write a method for a game of Hangman. The word the user is trying to guess is made up of hashtags like so " ###### "
If the user guesses a letter correctly then that letter is revealed on the hashtags like so "##e##e##"

If the user guesses incorrectly then it increments an int variable named count " ++count; "

String guessWord(String guess,String word, String pound) In this method, you compare the character(letter) read from the user to the letters in the original word, then if the letter is present in the original word, then place theletter/lettersin thepound. Return the updated poundstring.

Here is my code so far to help
