A Program that will ask five letters and create a possible words
hi, I'm James.. I am a new user of java, our teacher gives us a project: "Write a program that will ask five letters from the user and automatically create possible words for the given letters.",.. I search this @ google but still i can't find an idea on how to fix this, do you have any idea of this kind of problem in java?.
thank you so much..

You may wish to tell us which step *exactly* are you stuck on?
Re: A Program that will ask five letters and create a possible words
Is this a "make all possible combinations" project?
For example. given 1,2,3 : 123,132,213,231,312,321

Re: A Program that will ask five letters and create a possible words
What techniques has your instructor talked about? Did he give you any hints or clues on how to solve this?

Re: A Program that will ask five letters and create a possible words
ahm, actually our instructor didn't give any hints or clues on how to solve this.. I'm trying to approach my instructor, for asking for any techniques but she's not around now in our school.
Re: A Program that will ask five letters and create a possible words
Do you know what a recursive method call is? That is a common way to solve this problem. That is what would be used when the input can be any number of letters.
If your problem will always have 5 letters, then nested loops could be used.

Re: A Program that will ask five letters and create a possible words
ahm, i never try that.. do you have any syntax recursive method for letters?.. thanks
Re: A Program that will ask five letters and create a possible words
with recursion, in a loop, you take one item from the list and past the remaining items to the next level. Continue on down until only one left.
