title: how do I subtract -1 if a specific char is not found within a string
body: <p>I need some hints on how to program this, this method is for a hangman game <code>guessCh</code> is the letter user has guessed while <code>secretCh</code> is the letters in the secret word, they come from a <code>while() loop</code> one at a time. But what I need is instead of just <code>if (guessCh != secretCh)</code> wich don´t work cause the secret word consist of severall letters so it will subtract points from all those letters within the secret word, that it should not subtract from. Only if the <code>guessCh</code> char is not found in any of the <code>secretCh</code> letters / or within the secret word should it subtract -1. </p>
  
  <p>I seem to be stuck on this, I know it´s simple... but throw me a bone. I´ve already spent to much time on this. </p>
  
  <pre><code>private void nTurns(char guessCh, char secretCh) {
      //Create an array that stores already used letters
      if (guessCh != secretCh) {
          nTurnsLeft--;
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
