//the #1 goal here is to take a String, "hello" and convert it to a String[] ARRAY
//that returns such as " String[] finalDeal = { "h", "e", "l", "l", "o" }
//YES understand about Chars, but this is a unique situation dealing w/Java2d :) 

//the code as provide provides a working example
//the method to do this, has been named "stringStripper" and have been messing for a few hours, since
//last night as well but for some reason not figuring it out

//Thank you
