Hi everyone,
I need your help please

What do i need to make my program read
the next character

using console.nextChar();

I've added the following:

import java.util.*;
static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);

and then in the main:

char ch;

ch = console.nextChar();

and when i compile i get this error::


cannot find symbol
symbol : method nextChar()
location: class java.util.Scanner
ch = console.nextChar();

can any 1 help me please??

thanks

Scanner has no definition of method getChar.

so how can i make a program that reads the 1st character that the user enters:

for example:

if user enters :: A 1 2

ch= console.nextChar();
g = console.nextInt();
h= console.nextInt();

what can i use instead of nextChar()??
Thanks in advance

You can use scanner.next() it returns string, but you can convert it to char.

just read it as String, convert it to an array of chars, or make a new Scanner class in which you define a nextChar() method

actually i found the answer

String a= console.next();
char b = (char)a.charAt(0);

thanks guys

mmm.... just in case you need this again, a better way to do it is:

variable = console.next().charAt(0);

I hope it helps...
