Array Help....
im trying to enter a word take the word apart letter by letter and score each letter with a number value. then add all of the values for each letter up for one language and do this for 10 different languages. I have two problems here.
The first is... its not printing out 10 values nor is it even printing the correct value of the first value in the array.
heres my method.
public String scoreWord()
{
int [] amount= new int[10];
String scoreValue="";
for (int k=0; k<10; k++)
{
int score=0;
for (int i=0;i<word.length()-1; i++)
{
int j=1;
String letter=word.substring(i,j);
j++;
if (letter=="A" || letter=="a")
score+=(int) values[k][0];
else if (letter=="B" || letter=="b")
score+=(int) values[k][1];
else if (letter=="C" || letter=="c")
score+=(int) values[k][2];
else if (letter=="D" || letter=="d")
score+=(int) values[k][3];
else if (letter=="E" || letter=="e")
score+=(int) values[k][4];
else if (letter=="F" || letter=="f")
score+=(int) values[k][5];
else if (letter=="G" || letter=="g")
score+=(int) values[k][6];
else if (letter=="H" || letter=="h")
score+=(int) values[k][7];
else if (letter=="I" || letter=="i")
score+=(int) values[k][8];
else if (letter=="J" || letter=="j")
score+=(int) values[k][9];
else if (letter=="K" || letter=="k")
score+=(int) values[k][10];
else if (letter=="L" || letter=="l")
score+=(int) values[k][11];
else if (letter=="M" || letter=="m")
score+=(int) values[k][12];
else if (letter=="N" || letter=="n")
score+=(int) values[k][13];
else if (letter=="O" || letter=="o")
score+=(int) values[k][14];
else if (letter=="P" || letter=="p")
score+=(int) values[k][15];
else if (letter=="Q" || letter=="q")
score+=(int) values[k][16];
else if (letter=="R" || letter=="r")
score+=(int) values[k][17];
else if (letter=="S" || letter=="s")
score+=(int) values[k][18];
else if (letter=="T" || letter=="t")
score+=(int) values[k][19];
else if (letter=="U" || letter=="u")
score+=(int) values[k][20];
else if (letter=="V" || letter=="v")
score+=(int) values[k][21];
else if (letter=="W" || letter=="w")
score+=(int) values[k][22];
else if (letter=="X" || letter=="x")
score+=(int) values[k][23];
else if (letter=="Y" || letter=="y")
score+=(int) values[k][24];
else if (letter=="Z" || letter=="z")
score+=(int) values[k][25];
else
score+=0;
amount[k]= score;
}
}
for (int t=0; t><10; t++)
{
scoreValue="Word Score: " + amount[t];
}
return scoreValue;
}
