Java Programming/Keywords/char
Appearance
char
is a keyword. It defines a character primitive type. char
can be created from character literals and numeric representation. Character literals consist of a single quote character ('
) (ASCII 39, hex 0x27), a single character, and a close quote ('
), such as 'w'
. Instead of a character, you can also use unicode escape sequences, but there must be exactly one.
Syntax:
char variable name1 = 'character1'; |

65 is the numeric representation of character 'A' , or its ASCII code.
The nominal wrapper class is the java.lang.Character
class when you need to store a char
value but an object reference is required.
Code section 2: char wrapping.
char aCharPrimitiveType = 'A';
Character aCharacterObject = aCharPrimitiveType;
