Comparing two data types in order to store in array

[gwithey]

I am experiencing a problem in some code i am writing in that it does not see when current "== j" and therefore does not store anything in the array.

i have tried casting current which is a char but they don't seem to be matching does anyone know what im doing wrong?

[CODE]
for (int j = 0; j < 50; j++) {
if ((int) current == j) {
num[j]++;
}
else other++;
}/CODE]

full code:

package ArraysStorage;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class NumberCount {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        char current = '0';
        int other = 0;
        String input;
        int[] num = new int[50];    //initialise array

        for (int i = 0; i < num.length; i++) {  // fill array with 0's
            num[i] = 0;
        }

        System.out.println("Please enter a sequence of numbers from 0-50: ");
        input = scan.nextLine();    //getting user input

        for (int i = 0; i < (input.length()); i++) {
            current = input.charAt(i);
            for (int j = 0; j < 50; j++) {
                if ((int) current == j) {
                    num[j]++;
                }
                else other++;
            }
        }

        for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
            System.out.println("Number" + " " + (i+1) + " " + num[i]);
        }
        System.out.println(other);
    }
}

Characters are not integers. For example, the character '1' is represented by the char value 49. To get numbers from an input stream use Integer.parseInt().

Thanx for the help i just cant work out a way of putting it in the code.

or try using a Scanner
