you defined "shap" as character type, but you pass in a String. Use single quote for character.
Integer.parseInt takes in a String (check the API documentation ) , if you want to use a character, you can use Character class digit() method to convert a character to an integer.

Thank you very much Mr.JavaHater and Mr.Goldest for your help.
it works know
