Ascii art text generator
Hi, I'm learning java programming, I'm quite new and when I saw the lenght and charAt method for Strings I thought "I could use this to get the individual chars of a string" so I made this program
It's supposed to create text using Ascii Art but it just gives me errors
This is a copy-paste of the cmd promptpublic class BigText{ public static void main(String[] args){ String[][] BigSymbols = { /* */{ " ", " ", " ", " ", " ", " ", " ", " ", " ", " "}, /*0*/{ " ,a8888a, ", " ,8P^` `^Y8, ", ",8P Y8, ", "88 88 ", "88 88 ", "`8b d8' ", " `8ba, ,ad8' ", " ^Y8888P^ ", " ", " "}, /*1*/{ " 88 ", " ,d88 ", "888888 ", " 88 ", " 88 ", " 88 ", " 88 ", " 88 ", " ", " "}, /*2*/{ " ad888888b, ", "d8^ ^88 ", " a8P ", " ,d8P^ ", " a8P^ ", " a8P' ", "d8^ ", "88888888888 ", " ", " "}, /*3*/{ " ad888888b, ", "d8^ ^88 ", " a8P ", " aad8^ ", " ^^Y8, ", " ^8b ", "Y8, a88 ", " ^Y888888P' ", " ", " "}, /*4*/{ " ,d8 ", " ,d888 ", " ,d8^ 88 ", " ,d8^ 88 ", ",d8^ 88 ", "8888888888888 ", " 88 ", " 88 ", " ", " "}, /*5*/{ "8888888888 ", "88 ", "88 ____ ", "88a8PPPP8b, ", "PP^ `8b ", " d8 ", "Y8a a8P ", " ^Y88888P^ ", " ", " "}, /*6*/{ " ad8888ba, ", " 8P' ^Y8 ", "d8 ", "88,dd888bb, ", "88P' `8b ", "88 d8 ", "88a a8P ", " ^Y88888P^ ", " ", " "}, /*7*/{ "888888888888 ", " ,8P' ", " d8^ ", " ,8P' ", " d8^ ", " ,8P' ", " d8^ ", "8P' ", " ", " "}, /*8*/{ " ad88888ba ", "d8^ ^8b ", "Y8a a8P ", " ^Y8aaa8P^ ", " ,d8^^^8b, ", "d8^ ^8b ", "Y8a a8P ", " ^Y88888P^ ", " ", " "}, /*9*/{ " ,Y8aaa8P, ", "d8^ ^88 ", "8P 88 ", "Y8, ,d88 ", " ^PPPPPP^88 ", " 8P ", "8b, a8P ", "`^Y8888P' ", " ", " "}, /*a*/{ " ", " ", " ", ",adPPYYba, ", "^^ `Y8 ", ",adPPPPP88 ", "88, ,88 ", "`^8bbdP^Y8 ", " ", " "}, /*b*/{ "88 ", "88 ", "88 ", "88,dPPYba, ", "88P' ^8a ", "88 d8 ", "88b, ,a8^ ", "8Y^Ybbd8^' ", " ", " "}, /*c*/{ " ", " ", " ", " ,adPPYba, ", "a8^ ^^ ", "8b ", "^8a, ,aa ", " `^Ybbd8^' ", " ", " "}, /*d*/{ " 88 ", " 88 ", " 88 ", " ,adPPYb,88 ", "a8^ `Y88 ", "8b 88 ", "^8a, ,d88 ", " `^8bbdP^Y8 ", " ", " "}, /*e*/{ " ", " ", " ", " ,adPPYba, ", "a8P_____88 ", "8PP^^^^^^^ ", "^8b, ,aa ", " `^Ybbd8^' ", " ", " "}, /*f*/{ " ad88 ", " d8^ ", " 88 ", "MM88MMM ", " 88 ", " 88 ", " 88 ", " 88 ", " ", " "}, /*g*/{ " ", " ", " ", " ,adPPYb,d8 ", "a8^ `Y88 ", "8b 88 ", "^8a, ,d88 ", " `^YbbdP^Y8 ", " aa, ,88 ", " ^Y8bbdP^ "}, /*h*/{ "88 ", "88 ", "88 ", "88,dPPYba, ", "88P' ^8a ", "88 88 ", "88 88 ", "88 88 ", " ", " "}, /*i*/{ " ", " ", "88 ", " ", "88 ", "88 ", "88 ", "88 ", " ", " "}, /*j*/{ " ", " ", " 88 ", " ", " 88 ", " 88 ", " 88 ", " 88 ", " ,88 ", "888P^ "}, /*k*/{ "88 ", "88 ", "88 ", "88 ,d8 ", "88 ,a8^ ", "8888[ ", "88`^Yba, ", "88 `Y8a ", " ", " "}, /*l*/{ "88 ", "88 ", "88 ", "88 ", "88 ", "88 ", "88 ", "88 ", " ", " "}, /*m*/{ " ", " ", " ", "88,dPYba,,adPYba, ", "88P' ^88^ ^8a ", "88 88 88 ", "88 88 88 ", "88 88 88 ", " ", " "}, /*n*/{ " ", " ", " ", "8b,dPPYba, ", "88P' `^8a ", "88 88 ", "88 88 ", "88 88 ", " ", " "}, /*o*/{ " ", " ", " ", " ,adPPYba, ", "a8^ ^8a ", "8b d8 ", "^8a, ,a8^ ", " `^YbbdP^' ", " ", " "}, /*p*/{ " ", " ", " ", "8b,dPPYba, ", "88P' ^8a ", "88 d8 ", "88b, ,a8^ ", "88`YbbdP^' ", "88 ", "88 "}, /*q*/{ " ", " ", " ", " ,adPPYb,d8 ", "a8^ `Y88 ", "8b 88 ", "^8a ,d88 ", " `^YbbdP'88 ", " 88 ", " 88 "}, /*r*/{ " ", " ", " ", "8b,dPPYba, ", "88P' ^Y8 ", "88 ", "88 ", "88 ", " ", " "}, /*s*/{ " ", " ", " ", ",adPPYba, ", "I8[ ^^ ", " `^Y8ba, ", "aa ]8I ", "`^YbbdP^' ", " ", " "}, /*t*/{ " ", " ,d ", " 88 ", "MM88MMM ", " 88 ", " 88 ", " 88, ", " ^Y888 ", " ", " "}, /*u*/{ " ", " ", " ", "88 88 ", "88 88 ", "88 88 ", "^8a, ,a88 ", " `^YbbdP'Y8 ", " ", " "}, /*v*/{ " ", " ", " ", "8b d8 ", "`8b d8' ", " `8b d8' ", " `8b,d8' ", " ^8^ ", " ", " "}, /*w*/{ " ", " ", " ", "8b db d8 ", "`8b d88b d8' ", " `8b d8'`8b d8' ", " `8bd8' `8bd8' ", " YP YP ", " ", " "}, /*x*/{ " ", " ", " ", "8b, ,d8 ", " `Y8, ,8P' ", " )888( ", " ,d8" "8b, ", "8P' `Y8 ", " ", " "}, /*y*/{ " ", " ", " ", "8b d8 ", "`8b d8' ", " `8b d8' ", " `8b,d8' ", " Y88' ", " d8' ", " d8' "}, /*z*/{ " ", " ", " ", "888888888 ", " a8P^ ", " ,d8P' ", ",d8^ ", "888888888 ", " ", " "} } String text = "hello guys";

So, yeah, I don't understand anything of this. I'm trying to learn how to read the errors but for this time I'm gonna ask here to see if anyone can tell me what is happening here.Microsoft Windows [Versión 6.3.9600] (c) 2013 Microsoft Corporation.

I'm using Oracle JDK 15. I don't know if that can help to know what's the problem but just to make sure I can answer all the questions you might have
Please help me, I need to know what I am doing wrong
