Answer 1

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

  BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

        char c;

        System.out.println("Enter a letter: ");

        c = (char)br.read();

        System.out.println("Result is " + decode(c));

return false;

}

}

I hope that helps.

I don't see anything wrong with the function definition offhand. Can you post the invoking code as well to see if that might be the problem?
