    -Do you have to use a while?
    -If so, think about a condition that when encountered will stop the loop (a certain number reached, a specific value)
    -Is there a way in Java to convert a character to it's Ascii value?
    -if not then you'll have to find a way of linking one value (the character) to another value (the Ascii)


    Just some pointers to get you searching in the right direction. As tempting as it is to just spoon feed you the code, this approach is a lot more worth while in the long term for a budding programmer (in my own experience anyway).

    Have you tried creating a java program and compiling it to see what the compiler thinks of your code?

    What you have posted makes no sense to me.
