I keep on getting this error message and I don't know how to fix it.

Main.java:19: error: class expected
char ch = char.toLowerCase;
^
1 error

This is my code, it would be nice for someone to help if possible

Java

public class Main 
{
    public static void main (String[]args) 
    {
        String aString = "HELP!! I need to get 37 things DONE today!!";
        int numLetters = 0;
        int stringLength = aString.length;
        System.out.println ("In all lowercase, the sentence is: ");
        for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
        {
            char ch = char.toLowerCase;
            aString.charAt (length);
            System.out.print (ch);
            if (Character.isLetter ())
            numLetters++;
            }
        System.out.println ();
        System.out.println ("The number of CHARACTERS in the string is " + numLetters);
        System.out.println ("The number of LETTERS is " + stringLength);
    }
}

What I have tried:

I have tried multiple things such as rewriting the line multiple times as possible but have forgotten most of them, any and all suggests will be used.

At first glance use the length() method to get the length of string.

Java

int stringLength = aString.length();

Secondly, Character class is used to convert a chat into upper/lower case. Use Character class method with argument. like

Java

for (int i = 0; i < stringLength; i++) 
{
        char ch = Character.toLowerCase(aString.charAt(i));
        System.out.print (ch);
        if (Character.isLetter(aString.charAt(i)))
            numLetters++;
}
