Answer 1

String str = "abcdef";
char[] ch  = str.toCharArray();
for(char c : ch){
    int temp = (int)c;
    int temp_integer = 96; //for lower case
    if(temp<=122 & temp>=97)
        System.out.print(temp-temp_integer);
}

Output:

123456

@Shiki for Capital/UpperCase letters use the following code:

String str = "DEFGHI";
char[] ch  = str.toCharArray();
for(char c : ch){
    int temp = (int)c;
    int temp_integer = 64; //for upper case
    if(temp<=90 & temp>=65)
        System.out.print(temp-temp_integer);
}

Output:

456789
