I feel you are posting your class assignments here one by one, while we do not have any problem outright with that there should be some effort from your side that comes across from your query/ problem. We haven't seen any such effort as yet from you on this post.
Read this before posting such queries here.

	{
 
	char[] ch={'1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9'};
	int x,y,z;	
	for(x=ch.length;x>0;x--)
	{
	System.out.print(x);
	}
	System.out.println();
	for(y=ch.length;y>0;y--)
	{
	System.out.print(y);
	}
	z=x*y;
	System.out.println("\nThe sum is: "+z);
	}
}
public class Num7
{
	public static void main(String[]args)
	{
	
	char[] ch={'1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9'};
	int x,y,z;	
	for(x=ch.length;x>0;x--)
	{
	System.out.print(x);
	}
	System.out.println();
	for(y=ch.length;y>0;y--)
	{
	System.out.print(y);
	}
	z=x*y;
	System.out.println("\nThe sum is: "+z);
	}
}

it display the values i entered on the array backward,
and that's what i want,
the problem is the value of z,
z is always 0;
i cant figure out whats the problem,
can you help?

In Your code int x,y; are indexes of loop - for.
When loops finished x=0 and y=0.Multipy them result is 0.
You not using char[] ch={'1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9'}; table. More proper is declare table as int.
Analyse this:

    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        int[] table = {9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0};
 
        for (int x = table.length-1; x >= 0; x--) {
            System.out.print("x=");
            System.out.print(x);
            System.out.print(" ");
            System.out.print("table[x]=");
            System.out.print(table[x]);
            System.out.println();
        }
        System.out.println();
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int[] table = {9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0};
       
        for (int x = table.length-1; x >= 0; x--) {
            System.out.print("x=");
            System.out.print(x);
            System.out.print(" ");
            System.out.print("table[x]=");
            System.out.print(table[x]);
            System.out.println();
        }
        System.out.println();
    }
