-I am trying to write a program that will examine each letter in the string and count how many time the upper-case letter 'E' appears, and how many times the lower-case letter 'e' appears.
-I also have to use a JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() to tell the user how many upper and lower case e's were in the string.
-This will be repeated until the user types the word "Stop".
please help if you can
what i have so far:
[code]
public class Project0 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] uppercase = {'E'};
String[] lowercase = {'e'};
String isOrIsNot, inputWord;
while (true) {
// This line asks the user for input by popping out a single window
// with text input
inputWord = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter a sentence");
if ( inputWord.equals("stop") )
System.exit(0);
// if the inputWord is contained within uppercase or
// lowercase return true
if (wordIsThere(inputWord, lowercase))
isOrIsNot = "Number of lower case e's: ";
if (wordIsThere(inputword, uppercase))
isOrIsNot = "number of upper case e's: ";
// Output to a JOptionPane window whether the word is on the list or not
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The word " + inputWord + " " + isOrIsNot + " on the list.");
}
} //main
public static boolean wordIsThere(String findMe, String[] theList) {
for (int i=0; i<theList.length; ++i) {
if (findMe.equals(theList[i])) return true;
}
return false;
} // wordIsThere
} // class Lab4Program1
