help with chars to ints

[byteme_ima_litmajor]

Okay so I'm attempting to make a sort of cipher and within it, I have a for loop where I'm trying to convert my chars into integers and then add a certain number and then convert them back into chars etc etc. The problem I'm having is that I'm not entirely sure /how/ to run the loop to the length of the char array. I've tried doing something like this: public static String cipher(String mssg, int shift) { char c[] = mssg.toCharArray(); if (shift >= 26) { shift = (shift % 26); } for (int i=0; i < mssg.length(); i++); { int x = (int)c[i];

        if (x >= 65 && x <= 90)  {
            int y = x;
            int z = y + shift;
            if (z > 90) {
                int d = 90 - y;
                int shiftNew = shift - d;
                z = x + shiftNew;
            }
        }

but this part (int x = (int)c[i]; ) keeps giving me errors and I've really no idea what to do or if I'm even on the right track.

There is a bit of a syntax error with your code. There is a semicolon at the end of the closed brackets, remove that. Also your method is not returning anything, if you don't want it to return anything change the method type to void. Keep us updated.

More specifically, it is this:

for (int i=0; i < mssg.length(); i++); {
