[unna muthiah]

i would like a simple program for the following question.
the values of a=1,b=4,c=3...so on that each alphabet has some assigned random number.
if i type in the word krishna,i want the value of that word.
i want it first only the whole value and then the value of the words with only vowels and the value of the word without vowels.
thank you.

Welcome to JavaRanch.

What do you have so far? If you haven't started yet, what ideas have you had, and where are you stuck implementing them?

You may get some inspiration in this suspiciously similar recent topic.

one for the char

I don't see why not -- give it a try and let us know how it worked.

Yes, but there is a much easier way to do it using only one array. See the other thread for a further hint.
