Assigning a string value to a char

[coffeebean]

I've been trying to assign a string (consonantString) to a char (consonantChar). I found and tried using the following code:

Code:

String consonantString = (new Character(consonantChar)).toString();

Since the code assigns a char to a string, I tried changing it so it assigned a string to a char and I ended up with:

Code:

Char consonantChar = (new String(consonantString)).toChar();

However, the to.Char() caused an error and the program said I should use toCharArray(); instead. When I tried that, it didn't work either.

Does anyone know how I can fix that?

Thanks in advance.

One of your problems here is char is just that, a single isolated character. So if you want to convert your String to a "char" the obvious question is: which char of the string do you mean? Fortunately you can give the compiler the answer by using the String method: charAt(int index) where index is the position of the char that you want to extract from the String.

Fudarable try to explain something like this in simple words.

Code:

        String str = "Java";
        char st = str.charAt(0);
        System.out.println(st);

Any way, just for teach, the rigth use of toChar() is like follows:

String s = "hello";
char[] c = s.toCharArray();

Or funniest way:

char[] c = "hello".toCharArray();

Actually there is no such toChar()

And also, avoid funniest way all the time. Others can annoying, you too.
