In Java how does one turn a String into a char or a char into a String?
Solution 1:
char firstLetter = someString.charAt(0);
String oneLetter = String.valueOf(someChar);
You find the documentation by identifying the classes likely to be involved. Here, candidates are java.lang.String and java.lang.Character.
You should start by familiarizing yourself with:
- Primitive wrappers in
java.lang - Java Collection framework in
java.util
It also helps to get introduced to the API more slowly through tutorials.
- Manipulating characters in a String
Solution 2:
String.valueOf('X') will create you a String "X"
"X".charAt(0) will give you the character 'X'
