char c='\101';//there is no u after slash what does it mean? I think Characters can only be represented with hexadecimal numbers using \u. Am I right? ex: char c='\u0000'; Pl explain

Hi Priya, Char literals are single quoted characters or unicode values (begin with \u). HTH

Wow - that is interesting. The '\101' seems to be interpreted as octal, resulting in 65 decimal = 'A' It is actually in the Java Language Specification 3.10.4 but I never came across it before. Literal char examples given in the JLS are: 'a' '%' '\t' escaped tab char '\\' escaped \ char '\u03ad' unicode - interpret as Hex '\uFFFF' unicode '177' octal plus a couple of examples with non-ascii characters.

According to William�s book, \xxx is a valid escape sequence. It says in page 34, \xxx is a character in octal representation; xxx must range between 000 and 377. Cheers, Dan

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
