converting letters to numbers

[fenhoff]

Was wondering how to convert letters to numbers in java. We are working on a problem in class that has you input information for a cd. For example Title, Artist, Year and month produced, and then input a bar code number. I have the code down for all the inputs and then display what the user just entered.

What i was wanting to do is take the Title and Artist inputs convert those letters to numbers then add the year and month on the end to create its own barcode.

No, no, no, you didn't just post this same question in multiple fora without telling others you were doing this did you? You know of course that this is highly frowned upon and you know why, correct?

How about you try it, then report back.
