Homework Help please!

So I have been able to achieve the problems before this one.

Here is the directions to which I have to do.


The class, DotDashLetters2, is also an extension of the Java code found in the DotDash class of Exercise 1. It contains header comments and method headers for one additional user-defined void method. This method takes a single parameter (char letter) and displays its corresponding dot-dash pattern followed by a space.

a. Add code to the method, doLetter(), to produce the associated dot-dash patterns as given in the table found in Exercise 2. Your logic must invoke only the methods dot(), dash() and space() to produce each required pattern.

b. Add logic as indicated by comments in the main method to produce patterns corresponding to the words, “to”, “ate” and “tattoo”. Each pattern must be displayed on a single line. Your logic must use only the methods doLetter() and end() to produce each pattern. The required output is the same as for Exercise 2.

Here is my code

public class DotDashLetters2 {

	public static void dot() {
		System.out.print(".");
	}

	public static void dash() {
		System.out.print("-");
	}

	public static void space() {
		System.out.print(' ');
	}

	public static void end() {
		System.out.println();
	}

	public static void doLetter(char letter) {
		
		
	}
	

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		// 1. ADD logic to display the word, "to", on the console
		
		// 2. ADD logic to display the word, "ate", on the console
		
		// 3. ADD logic to display the word, "tattoo", on the console
	}

	}

I need my output to be look like this.

- --- 
.- - . 
- .- - - --- ---

I basically have to add something into the Void doLetter part, but I really dont know what. I missed my class that day. Can anyone help me out?

Is it like decoding morse code?

[rokit boy]

It is definitely morse code.
I'll start off.

public static void doLetter(char letter) {
if letter.equals(t) {
    dash();
    space();
}       
}

For morse code goto: http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=mor...:0&tx=85&ty=23

I receive an error when I do this. Something about how cannot compare..and it needs to be a string.

It might be morse code, im not sure, but In the end, i have to type in the word "to" and it does the dashes and periods. Any more help? ):

[Fubarable]

char are primitives, and you cannot call methods on primitives. Instead check if the letter == 't', not if letter.equals(t) (which makes no sense any way since t is then thought to be an undeclared variable.

That worked, setting it to ==. Now I just need to get the pattern set (: Thanks for the help. If i need more help ill post back!
