Using the replace method?
I am trying to write a program that takes the word Mississippi and replaces all the i's with !'s and all s's with $'s. It doesnt allow me to compile the code because it says something about a syntax error on token "!". Here is the code so far:
public class Replace { public static void main(String[] args) { String word = "Mississippi" ; String word2 = word.replace(i, !) ; String word3 = word2.replace(s, $) ; System.out.println(word3); } }
Could anyone help?

Have you tried reading the Javadoc? There's an example which might help you figure out why you're getting the compile error.
edit:
gah, embarrassing error. I really need to keep my methods straight

From String (Java Platform SE 6) and from the Java 7 reference whose link you posted:
String replace(char oldChar, char newChar)
Returns a new string resulting from replacing all occurrences of oldChar in this string with newChar.
Cheers!
