    Default please help !need rush. i dont know how the computations should be done.. :(

    create a program that will perform the following operation
    1. accept 1-5 letters.
    2. each letter corresponds to a number.
    3. generates the sum of the numbers selected.
    4.displays the average of the numbers selected.

    values of letter A=20 B=4 C=7 D=9 E=10 F=15 O=6 U=12 S=12
    either or joption o scanner ang gagamitin

    just a newbie with Data structure and algo please help to solve this .. ...

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    int A = 20,B = 4,C=7,D = 9, E = 10, F = 15, O = 6, U = 12, S = 12;
    int q;

    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.println("Choose 2-5 letter from A,B,C,D,E,F,O,U,S");
    q= scan.nextInt();

    q = A + B;
    q = A + C;
    System.out.println("the sum of the enter letter is:"+q);

    should i continue this kind of equation?? or how should the computation should be done

    1. accept 1-5 letters.
    2. each letter corresponds to a number.
    3. generates the sum of the numbers selected.
    4.displays the average of the numbers selected.

    values of letter A=20 B=4 C=7 D=9 E=10 F=15 O=6 U=12 S=12
    .. joption o scanner only can be use



    public static void main(String[] args) {
    int A = 20,B = 4,C=7,D = 9, E = 10, F = 15, O = 6, U = 12, S = 12;
    int sum,letters=0,q,w;

    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);


    if (letters<2);
    System.out.println("Choose 2-5 letter from A,B,C,D,E,F,O,U,S");
    q = scan.nextInt () ;
    System.out.println("Choose 2-5 letter from A,B,C,D,E,F,O,U,S");
    w = scan.nextInt () ;
    sum = q + w;
    System.out.println("the sum of the letters is:"+sum);

    int A = 20,B = 4,C=7,D = 9, E = 10, F = 15, O = 6, U = 12, S = 12;
    The names of variables are not useful when looking that user input.
    There are several ways to associate a letter input by a user with a value:
    One is to use a switch statement
    Another is to use a String and an array of the values with the letter's position in the String corresponding to the index into the array.
    Another would be a Map with the letter being the key and the value being the numeric value.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    the value of the letter couldn't recognize
    Please explain the problem.

    The code uses the wrong Scanner method to read a letter. nextInt() is for reading numbers.
