Ugh, finally got the isValid function done

Would've been a lot easier to count the number of *'s and |'s if I didn't reset their count to 0 every time the loop ran.
Anyone else hate making stupid mistakes like that? It seems to happen to me a lot.

What were you trying to do? I think I know a real easy way to do it.

It was just for a Java assignment, it had to do with the Mayan number system, which was base 20. It only had four characters that were valid: "*", "|", "0", " ". The *'s were 1 and |'s were 5. |** would be 7 and * | would be 25 (because of the space). It had to be in a certain order (**| wouldn't work), and only 3 |'s were allowed and 4 *'s. No other characters were allowed either.

It wasn't so bad once I realized my silly mistake. Got the assignment done pretty easily after that.
