I'm just trying to count letters, by type etc. What am I doing wrong here?

import javax.swing.JOp tionPane;

public class Asg3
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{

int aCount=0, eCount=0, iCount=0, oCount=0, uCount=0, upperCount=0;
int lowCount=0, spaceCount=0, otherCount=0, totalCount=0;

char currentChar;
char c;
int position= 0,size =0;
String charInput;
charInput = JOptionPane.sho wInputDialog (null, "Enter a sentence...plea se");
size = charInput.lengt h();

// now that everything has a value, lets get a loop going

while (position < size)
{
c = charInput.charA t(position);

switch (c)
{

Get : expected case 'b':case 'B':case 'c':case 'C':case 'd':case 'D':case 'f':case 'F';
otherCount++;
break;
case 'f':case 'F':case 'g':case 'G':case 'h':case 'H':case 'j':case 'J':
otherCount++;
break;
case 'k':case 'K':case 'l':case 'L':case 'm':case 'M':case 'n':case 'P':
otherCount++;
break;
case 'q':case 'Q':case 'r':case 'R':case 's':case 'S':case 't':case 'T':
otherCount++;
break;
case 'v':case 'V':case 'w':case 'W':case 'x':case 'X':case 'y':case 'Z':
otherCount++;
break;
case '.':case '!':case '?':case ',':case '$':case '@':case '&':case ':':
otherCount++;
break;
case 'a':case 'A':
aCount++;
break;
case 'e':case 'E':
eCount++;
break;
case 'i':case 'I':
iCount++;
break;
case 'o':case 'O':
oCount++;
break;
case 'u':case 'U':
uCount++;
break;
Get : expected case ' ';
spaceCount++;
break;

}

position++;
}
totalCount= size;

System.out.prin t("There are " + aCount + " a's, " +eCount + " e's, ");
System.out.prin t(iCount+ " i's, " + oCount+ " o's, and " + uCount);
System.out.prin t("u's and " + iCount+ " i's, " + oCount+ " o's, and ");
System.out.prin t(+ uCount+ " u's and " + otherCount + " other letters and");
get ')' expected System.out.prin t(+ spaceCount + " spaces and " totalCount + "total asccis");
}

}

Any ideas? Thanks

Please inclose the code you have posted in codetags...

About your problem, You forgot to check all cases that must end with a colon, not semi-colon...

Code:

[B]get ')' expected[/B] System.out.print(+ spaceCount + " spaces and " totalCount + "total asccis");
}

You forgot to fix the combinations of Strings and variables...
a "+" is required....
