Thread: Need Help With Project

I am doing a project that converts a string into morse code. I have most of it down except for that fact that I cannot get it to keep repeating so I tried inserting another while loop in the main method but i keep getting errors with my code and I need to insert a | in between each space but I have been unable to do that either. The following is my code so far if anyone has any tips I would greatly appreciate it.

import java.util.*;
 
 
public class MorseCodeProj
{
  public String Conversion(String s1){
    String result = "";
    StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(s1);
    while(tokens.hasMoreTokens()){  
     String word = tokens.nextToken();
    for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++){
        switch(word.charAt(i)){
            case 'A':
            case 'a':
                result+=".-";
                break;
            case 'B':
            case 'b':
                result+="-...";
                break;
            case 'C':
            case 'c':
                result+="-.-.";
                break;
            case 'D':
            case 'd':
                result+="-..";
                break;
            case 'E':
            case 'e':

As an aside from a quick glance at the code, you may want to consider using a StringBuilder or StringBuffer for more optimal performance. Relatively speaking String concatenation can be slow, and for longer strings this difference could be noticeable.
