Question

Hello again, just need help debugging-I honestly have no idea how the "isSpace" etc methods work and I've tried various syntaxes (string name, Character., etc.) to no avail. Also getting errors for the c= sections for converting between char, string, and boolean which I understand, just dont know how to fix. I'm aware I could condense my initial variables, I just like them laid out. The code aims to count lowercase vowels, all consonants, spaces, and punctuation. Anything else will get thrown into a misc count.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MyClass {

public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner s=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("input the string");
String as=s.nextLine();

int cons=0;

int a=0;

int e=0;

int i=0;

int o=0;

int u=0;

int space=0;

int punc=0;

char c;

int misc=0;

for(int k=0;k(LESS THAN)as.length();k++){
if(as.isSpace(as.charAt(i))){
space++;
}

else if(as.isConsonant(as.charAt(i))){

cons++;

}

else if(as.isPunctuation(as.charAt(i))){

punc++;

}

else if(as.isVowel(as.charAt(i))){

c=as.charAt(i);

if (c="a"){

a++;

}

else if(c="i"){

i++;

}

else if(c="e"){

e++;

}

else if(c="o"){

o++;

}

else if(c="u"){

u++;

}

else{

misc++;

}

}

else{

misc++;

}

}

System.out.println(a+" a's");

System.out.println(e+" e's");

System.out.println(i+" i's");

System.out.println(o+" o's");

System.out.println(u+" u's");

System.out.println(space+" spaces");

System.out.println(punc+" punctuations");

System.out.println(cons+" consonants");

System.out.println(misc+" misc. (uppercase vowels, etc.");


}

}

import java.util.Scanner;

public class JavaApplication81 {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Input the string");

String as = s.nextLine();

int cons = 0;

int a = 0;

int e = 0;

int i = 0;

int o = 0;

int u = 0;

int space = 0;

int punc = 0;

char c;

int misc = 0;

String punctuation = ".!,?";

String consonants = "bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz";

for (int k = 0; k < as.length(); k++){

c = as.charAt(k);

if (Character.isWhitespace(c)){

space ++;

}

else if (punctuation.indexOf(c) != -1){

punc++;

}

else if (consonants.indexOf(c) != -1){

cons++;

}

else if (c == 'a'){

a++;

}

else if(c == 'e'){

e++;

}

else if (c == 'i'){

i++;

}

else if (c == 'o'){

o++;

}

else if (c == 'u'){

u++;

}

else{

misc++;

}

}

System.out.println(a+" a's");

System.out.println(e+" e's");

System.out.println(i+" i's");

System.out.println(o+" o's");

System.out.println(u+" u's");

System.out.println(space+" spaces");

System.out.println(punc+" punctuations");

System.out.println(cons+" consonants");

System.out.println(misc+" misc. (uppercase vowels, etc.");

}

}

This is one example of how it could be done.
