Reading characters from console using stream

[moaz.amin.37]

import java.io.*;
class ConsoleInput{

    public static void main(String ss[]) throws IOException{

        InputStreamReader isr=new InputStreamReader(System.in);
        BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(isr);
        char c=' ';
        System.out.println("Enter Characters And q to Quiet");
        do{

            c=(char)br.read();
            System.out.println(c);
        }while(c != 'q');
    }
}

in upper code this line c=(char)br.read(); get string from user at this point user enter some string like abcdefq and at first iteration jvm checks the a then b then c and so on until jvm finds q (Am I write)

now my question is that there is not increment operator that first check a then increment and check b and so on
is BufferedReader like an array i do not understand its working

Buffered reader just has a FIFO stack of characters supplied from the underlying input stream. Each time you call read() it pops the first char and returns it to you.

but there is a problem read() return -1 and we assign it to char c why and what is scnerio

and stack is LIFO not FIFO i think qeues is FIFO

Because you need a value to denote EOF/EOS which is not a valid char. Since -1 is not acceptable for a char (char is unsigned after all), read() returns an int.

OK, it's a FIFO queue.
