newbie help....I don't know whats wrong with my program

Posted by Saguaro on February 21, 2002 at 12:05 AM

Its supposed to count the number of each letter in a string but all it returns is 0. I've been experimenting with it but I can't get it to work. Everything seems right. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks for your time
public class AlphaCounter
{
public static void main (String args[])
{
String enterLine, line;
int lineNum, numLines;
int numLetter;
int numVowel;
int i;
numLines=1;
int letterAp=0;

System.out.println("Enter lines of text. Enter an empty line to end.");
do {
line=SavitchIn.readLine();
if (!(line.equals("")))
numLines++;
} while(!(line.equals("")));
System.out.println("Number of lines: "+(numLines-1));
System.out.println("Letters not present: ");
numLetter=line.length();
line = line.toUpperCase();

for (char letter = 'A'; letter <= 'Z'; letter++)
{
for(i=0;i {
if (line.charAt(i)==letter)
letterAp++;
}

System.out.println(letter +" "+letterAp);
}
System.out.println("Number of letters: ");
System.out.println("Number of vowels: ");
}
}
