Hi everyone,

Use single quotes

a[k] = 'a';

This should work

Richard West

Thanks a lot for responding.

I just tried that after i read your post, but it is still giving me an "incompatible types" error for the else if statements, oddly enough not the original if statement though.

else if(base == 11 || base == 12 || base == 13 || base == 14 || base == 15 || base == 16)
{
int j;
int i;
int k;

for (i = 0; i < Num.length(); i++)
{
a[i] = Num.charAt(i);
}

for (k = 0; k < a.length; k++)
{

if(a[k] = 'a')
{
a[k] = 1;

for (k = k + 1; k < a.length; k++)
{
a[k] = a[k + 1];
a[k] = 0;
}
}

else if(a[k] = 'b')
{
a[k] = 1;

for (k = k + 1; k < a.length; k++)
{
a[k] = a[k + 1];
a[k] = 1;
}
}

else if(a[k] = 'c')
{
a[k] = 1;

for (k = k + 1; k < a.length; k++)
{
a[k] = a[k + 1];
a[k] = 2;
}
}

else if(a[k] = 'd')
{
a[k] = 13;

for (k = k + 1; k < a.length; k++)
{
a[k] = a[k + 1];
a[k] = 3;
}
}

else if(a[k] = 'e')
{
a[k] = 14;

for (k = k + 1; k < a.length; k++)
{
a[k] = a[k + 1];
a[k] = 4;
}
}

else if(a[k] = 'f')
{
a[k] = 15;

for (k = k + 1; k < a.length; k++)
{
a[k] = a[k + 1];
a[k] = 5;
}
}
}
}

You're grabbing numbers, so try parsing to a char:

a[i] = (char)(Num.charAt(i));

or try this:

a[i] = (Num.charAt(i)).charValue();

Hi everyone,

server_crash is it my browser or is it everyone's post seems to be cut of at the end. Please let me know so maybe i can let dani about it

Richard West

Hi everyone,

It does not work because of what you did above

This is the correct way


You have to use double equal signs. Change the rest as i listed in the above example

Yours Sincerely

Richard West

Not any changes here. If your missing something or can't see something, let me know what exactly it is, so I can let you know if it's missing on my part too. But everything seems normal here.

:eek: I would have never caught that. One of the hardest mistakes to spot.

I seem to be missing the last line. My name always gets cut off like this reply. Are having this problem as well??

Richard West

Nope. I always see your name and your beginning salutation. Altought, I didn't see the salutation this time...But I think you just forgot it. Your name is there though.
