    char Letter [] = new char [9];
    Letter[0] = 'A';
    Letter[1] = 'B';
    Letter[2] = 'C';
    Letter[3] = 'D';
    Letter[4] = 'F';
    Letter[5] = 'G';
    Letter[6] = 'H';
    Letter[7] = 'I';
    Letter[8] = 'J';

    System.out.println("Forward");
    System.out.println("-------");

    for (char i = 0; i < Letter.length; i++)
    {
        System.out.println(" " + i + "  " + Letter[i]);
    }

    System.out.println("       ");
    System.out.println("=======");
    System.out.println("Reverse");
    System.out.println("-------");

    for (char r = Letter[9] - 1; r >= 0; r--)
    {

        System.out.println(" " + r + "  " + Letter[r]);
    }
  }
 }

well, you are making it a lot more diffult than you should. also, you should use an index as value for your loop, not the value of the elements.

for the first one, the easiest way is to use the enhanced for loop:

for ( char a: Letter) // btw, naming convention dictates lowercase letter, just a tip
System.out.print(a + " ");

the second one can be done in several ways, but if you use the chars as value for your index, that will only work if your chars are always in the correct order

for ( int i = Letter.length-1; i >= 0; i--)
System.out.print(Letter[i] + " ");

Letter[r]

this is wrong, since 'r' is not a valid index in your code.

Thank you I got :

    public class Week_nine_number_thiry_three 

{

public static void main(String[] args) 
{
    String Letter [] = new String [9];
    Letter[0] = "A";
    Letter[1] = "B";
    Letter[2] = "C";
    Letter[3] = "D";
    Letter[4] = "F";
    Letter[5] = "G";
    Letter[6] = "H";
    Letter[7] = "I";
    Letter[8] = "J";

    System.out.println("Forward");
    System.out.println("-------");

    for (int i = 0; i < Letter.length; i++)
    {
        System.out.println(i + "  " + Letter[i]);
    }

    System.out.println("       ");
    System.out.println("=======");
    System.out.println("Reverse");
    System.out.println("-------");

    for (int r = Letter.length - 1; r >= 0; r--)
    {

        System.out.println(r + "  " +Letter[r] + " ");
    }
}
