Trying to create a method to convert string letters into a two dimensional array

Nov 23rd, 2004

I'm currently stuck in my program.

I'm supposed to create a new method that inputs a message string and takes each letter and converts it into a two dimensional array of 1's and 0's. For example the letter 'H' would be

10001
10001
11111
10001
10001

My thoughts were to create a for loop and use the .charAt() method to isolate each char in the string. But from there I'm not quite sure where to go to take that char and convert it into the two dimensional array. Any suggestions?
