Thread: Converting an array

Not sure if this is in the right place but heres my problem.

I have a char 2D array. I want to convert the values in this array to an int array using some form of dictionary.

for example
A = 1
B = 2
C = 3
D = 4

input array : {A,C,D,A,C,B}
output array:{1,3,4,1,3,2}

can anyone advise me on how to do this

Thanks

is this what you looking for?

        TreeMap tm = new TreeMap();
        tm.put('A', 1);
        tm.put('B', 2);
        tm.put('C', 3);
        tm.put('D', 4);
 
        BufferedReader myBuff = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));                
        char[] s1 = myBuff.readLine().toCharArray();
        Vector v1 = new Vector();
 
        for(int i = 0;i<s1.length;i++){
            v1.add(tm.get(Character.toUpperCase(s1[i])));
        }
        System.out.println(v1.toString());

ps : don't forget to add the imports
