char = string???

Sep 3rd, 2006

Im trying to cast a char to a string, but if i just define equality, the complier says incompatible types.
I looked in my textbook but it only shows how to cast ints and doubles.

I have to write a class that takes a char and a String. It then searches the string for the char and returns a boolean.
Im useing a scanner to do this, and it will only accept a string, not a char. Maybe I'm going about this all wrong, if so, please point me in the right direction.

Thanks
Colin
