Convert a Char into HammingCode

[fastmike]

Hey guys. This is my first Time in these forums. i just started learning java on my own. i just started learning the basics and now all of a sudden this advance programming came in front of me. what i really wanted to do is to convert a character into hammingcode. i am not using any java compiler. i am using secure SSh client to compile java codes with no dialogbox to be displayed. if i enter A it should convert into binary which is 1000010 and then convert it into hammingcode by using paritybits. any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

This is the following code i am using it will convert an Ascii char to binary but now i am stuck how to convert that binary number into hammingcode.


public class printBits2{
public static void main( String args[] ){
printBits2 pb = new printBits2( args[ 0 ] );

}

public printBits2( String message ){
System.out.print( message + "\n\n" );
char chA[] = new char[ message.length() ];
chA = message.toCharArray();

char displayMask = 1 << 9 ;
for( int i = 0; i < message.length(); i++ ){
System.out.print( chA[ i ] );
// printCharBits( chA[ i ] );
System.out.print( "\n" );
}
}

// private void printCharBits( char c ) int displayMask = 1 << 9;
for ( int bit = 1; bit < ; bit++ ){
if( ( c & displayMask ) == 0 ){
System.out.print( "0" );
if( bit % 7 == 0 ){ System.out.print( " " ); }
}
/* else{
System.out.print( "1" );
if( bit % 7 == 0 ){ System.out.print( " " ); }
}
c <<= 1;
} */ System.out.print( "\n" );
}
}
