I need help for the love of god. Binayr tree

[Meta]

how can i edit this program to make it accept a string of letters and output each letter as its own node down a tree?

[Java] import java.io.*; import java.util.*; // for Stack class /////// - Pastebin.com

[Meta]

if i put 'A' 'B', etc in the insert method, what do i have to change to make it actually be able to isnert characters?

Next time paste the code here between [CODE] /CODE brackets and you might get faster results. I've done it for you this time:

44.   public void insert(int id, double dd)
45.      {
46.      Node newNode = new Node();    // make new node
47.      newNode.iData = id;           // insert data
48.      newNode.dData = dd;
49.      if(root==null)                // no node in root
50.         root = newNode;
51.      else                          // root occupied
52.         {
53.         Node current = root;       // start at root
54.         Node parent;
55.         while(true)                // (exits internally)
56.            {
57.            parent = current;
58.            if(id < current.iData)  // go left?
59.               {
60.               current = current.leftChild;
61.               if(current == null)  // if end of the line,
62.                  {                 // insert on left
63.                  parent.leftChild = newNode;
64.                  return;
65.                  }
66.               }  // end if go left
67.            else                    // or go right?
68.               {
69.               current = current.rightChild;
70.               if(current == null)  // if end of the line
71.                  {                 // insert on right

Having done that, I don't see the problem: you use your double (dd) only to print it after the user choosing "f". I don't see it's any more difficult to print characters A,B then doubles.
One remark: in the case-statement ( main() ) you need brackets {} around multiple statements in the else.
