title: multiplying int with values from char array not working
body: <p>i am having a problem with multipling a simple int value (1) with the values from a char-array:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void doStuff(String values)
  {
      char[] numbers = values.toCharArray();
      int result = 1;
  
      for (int i = 0; i &lt; numbers.length; i++)
      {
          System.out.println(numbers[i] + " " + result);
          result *= numbers[i];
      }
  
      // more stuff here
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in my case the input string-parameter is "73167". in the line "result *= numbers[i]" result should be 7 after the first iteration, but debug info in eclipse says that result = 55.
  any hints??</p>
