Can someone please tell me what's wrong with this code? The array has been declared already. I just don't know how to convert this ascii value to char. if i needed to convert the ascii value to a string I would do:

(Toggle Plain Text)

 int i = 65;
String aChar = new Character((char)i).toString();

// output "a"

However, i need to convert to a char value.

(Toggle Plain Text)

                        int countascii = 65;                        
                        char aChar = ' ';
                        aChar = new Character ((char) countAscii);
                        letters [0] [0] = aChar;

Unlike c#, the "char" type in Java is not the same as its "Character" class. The Character class is a wrapper around the char type. All you need to do is explicitly convert int to char:

(Toggle Plain Text)

aChar = (char) countAscii;
