java question

Write a command line application that takes a word and returns its Scrabble score. Here are the point values of each letter in Scrabble:

(A, E, I, O, U, L, N, R, S, T) 1,
(D, G) 2,
(B, C, M, P) 3,
(F, H, V, W,Y) 4,
(K) 5,
(J, X) 8,
(Q, Z) 10,

I JUST NEED A CODE THAT TAKES A LETTER FROM THE COMMAND LINE AND RETURNS A NUMBER AS DESCRIBED IN THE QUESTION.

use

String[] values = {“AEIOULNRST”,“DG”,“BCMP”,“FHVWY”,“K”,"","",“JX”,"",“QZ”};

then

(values[i].indexOf(searchedChar) >=0)

or use

String values = “AEIOULNRST,DG,BCMP,FHVWY,K,JX,QZ,”;

then search char and count commas

if(values.charAt(i)==’,’)
result++;
