[digital stirrup]

what have you gotten so far

[worn shale]

@digital stirrup

[digital stirrup]

right so start by making some structure to hold your output

then you need to add to that within a loop of some kind

[worn shale]

I am sorry but where/how

[digital stirrup]

in the method

you're given hints in the problem statement itself

[digital stirrup]

you need to start at the character given

[worn shale]

😖

[digital stirrup]

for (start, end, increment) is the general format
you want each character, so increment can just be ch++

try to figure out what start and end are

hint: ||the variable doesn't need to be an int. the other primitives also have numerical values.||

[digital stirrup]

closer

a and z would need to be chars, wrapped in '

[worn shale]

so i changed a to 'a' and same for z

now what?

[digital stirrup]

.

and also , you want to start at the char that was the input

[worn shale]

'a' should be the word 'character' instread

[digital stirrup]

sure

[worn shale]

then?

[digital stirrup]

what do you have now

[worn shale]

needs a return statement

@digital stirrup

[digital stirrup]

yeah

but right now you're just printing out the character

you need to store it so you can return it all together

in the loop

(also range isn't used, you can remove that)

[worn shale]

what if we go over

[worn shale]

while loop?

[digital stirrup]

no, use the loop you already have

you don't need to print it out from this method, you need to get the characters and return it as a string

[digital stirrup]

you have checks to prevent that, don't you?

[worn shale]

yes

[digital stirrup]

so you don't have to worry about it

[worn shale]

how would i start it

[digital stirrup]

wdym

[worn shale]

I am so confused eventually we return SB

but we need to craete a loop to store all the letter to go into sb

Could your write a bit of the code out

[digital stirrup]

you have the loop already

[worn shale]

I know

[digital stirrup]

you just need to add i to the StringBuilder

do you know how to use it

[worn shale]

Kinda

public StringBuilder append(char a)

[digital stirrup]

right

ah, you still have an int

[digital stirrup]

.

[worn shale]

This is where I am now I am really stuck here

please @worn shale if you can help

[digital stirrup]

...are you reading my hint

and you haven't even changed anything
