    You forgot to ask you question. What do you need help with?

    If you are getting errors, please copy and paste here the full text of the error messages.

    Consider this:
    System.out.println("or'd chars=" + ('a'|'e'|'i'|'o'|'u')); //or'd chars=127
    The value of those letters ORd together is 127
