at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:658)
at Prompter.promptForGuess(Prompter.java:14)

We'd need to see the code, either posted with Markdown formatting, or you could make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here. A link to the course page you are working with would also be helpful.

You can't share a direct URL to your workspace, it's temporary and only exists while you are using it. But as I suggested before, you can use the snapshot function in the workspace and provide the link to that.

In "Prompter.java", on line 14 the "charAt" method is being called with a character argument of '0'.

But the argument to "charAt" should be a number value (no quotes).
