The Attempt at a Solution

import java.util.Scanner;
public class CodingTry {

public static void main (String args [])
{ System.out.println(" Do you want to encode in Morse, or SMS, or exist the program?");

Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);

String check = scan.next();
System.out.println(" plese type " + check + " text to be coded >");
String text = scan.next();

if (text == "Morse" )


{ String morsetext2 = scan.next();




// String MorseText = scan.next();


// String morsetext2 = scan.next();
while ( morsetext2 != "Done")
{ morsetext2 = scan.next();

int counter = 0;
String a = ".- ";

Maybe it's because you seplled exit wrong.

So far all I've found

int morseletter = morsetext2.indexOf(counter);

-indexOf takes in a string type.
-counter, as far as I know, is int type.
-you put in int type where a string belongs.
-(btw indexOf gives the index in which counter first shows up in morsetext2 given proper conversions).

if ( morseletter == 'a' || morseletter == 'A')
System.out.print ( a );

if ( morseletter == 'b' || morseletter == 'B' )
System.out.print ( b );
//and so on...

-you are checking morseletter (an int type) against a String.

if ( check == "exist")

I'm guessing you want to type "exit"Your code will not work even if these bits are fixed. You will want to pick out letter by letter. I suggest a for loop and String.charAt or String.subString.
