Hi everyone,

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

Re: console.nextChar(); HELP PLEASE???
 

Scanner has no definition of method getChar.

Re: console.nextChar(); HELP PLEASE???
 

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.

Re: console.nextChar(); ???
 

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 ;)

Re: console.nextChar(); ???
 

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

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

I hope it helps...:)
