so what im doing is creating a program that reads in 2 text files, 1 is a plain text file the other is an encrypted version of the text file.
I set the String (for every line) to uppercase and i take the char of the String index 0-65 thats where i get my position in the array.
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
public class ReadIn {
public void fileReader(){
try{
Scanner inFile1 = new Scanner(new File("plaintext.txt"));
//Scanner inFile2 = new Scanner(new File("ciphertext.txt"));
int lol[] = new int[27];
while(inFile1.hasNextLine()){
String base = inFile1.nextLine();
base.toUpperCase();
String placeHolder = base;
for(int i=0;i<base.length();i++){
if(placeHolder.charAt(0)==' '){}
else if(base.charAt(0)=='.'){}else if(base.charAt(0)==','){}
else if(base.charAt(0)=='"'){}else if(base.charAt(0)==':'){}
else if(base.charAt(0)=='-'){}else if(base.charAt(0)=='?'){}
else if(base.charAt(0)=='!'){}else{lol[(base.charAt(0)-65)]++;}
placeHolder = placeHolder.substring(1);
}
}
for(int j=0;j<lol.length;j++){
System.out.println(lol[j]);
//To show what is inside the Index.
}
}catch(FileNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("File is not in the correct directory!");
}catch(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e){
System.out.println("Array Index is to small!!");
}
}
}
This is the output i get when i set the array size to 60
142 119 0 0 0 62 60 0 682 0 0 179 24 232 0 62 0 0 0 184 0 0 440 0 63 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 471 182 215 94 60 409 0 242 174 15 30 62 273 79 405 189 0 195 472 673 101 62 324 0 124 0 0 0
The question is, when I run the program, why is my array to small. If all letters are capitalized, then subtracting 65 from a char such as 'A' should be 0 and therefor add 1 to index [0] in the array.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
update
OK so i set the string to capitalize it self by "base = base = base.toUpperCase();" This worked flawlessly except that my array has to be set at 91 to compensate for the Z (90) in ascii when i try to go to the index point of the array to add i use [(base.charAt(0)-65)]++ but it throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException -21
