I am a beginner in java does not know much about it.
But to practise it I have tried to simulate the popular game Hangman
using simple methods.Please Guide me with the code
In this program the words are given by the user and then they are converted in to dashes.
Its like 2 player game
1st player enters the word or sentence and then seconds player tries to guess it.
but in this program the words entered by first player is displayed.How can I hide that words
after the first player had finished Entering the words. Also please help me to make this code more
like a working using minimum methods and objects.

System.out.println("Enter Your Sentence\n");
//Scan input in string "s1"
s1 = scan.nextLine();
//Display input
System.out.println("\n" + s1 + "\n");
//Trim
s1 = s1.trim();
//Covert lower
s1 = s1.toLowerCase();
//Extract the Str length
int n = s1.length();
//Copies string to arrays "s2"&"S3"
char s2[] = new char[n];
char s3[] = new char[n];

//Generates a Random Number for hiding letters
