How to convert/parse from String to char in java?
If your string contains exactly one character the simplest way to convert it to a character is probably to call the charAt method:
char c = s.charAt(0);
You can use the .charAt(int) function with Strings to retrieve the char value at any index. If you want to convert the String to a char array, try calling .toCharArray() on the String.
String g = "line";
char c = g.charAt(0); // returns 'l'
char[] c_arr = g.toCharArray(); // returns a length 4 char array ['l','i','n','e']
you can use this trick :
String s = "p";
char c = s.charAt(0);
