Java Programming/Keywords/char

char is a keyword. It defines a character primitive type.

The java.lang.Character class is the nominal wrapper class when you need to store a char value but an object reference is required.

Syntax:

char <variable-name> = '<character>';

For example:

char oneChar1 = 'A'; char oneChar2 = 65;

65 is the numeric representation of character 'A' , or its ASCII code.

System.out.println( oneChar1 ); System.out.println( oneChar2 );

outputs the following:

A
A
