can you increment letters?

[Fred Abbot]

hi
I have a String which is the letter A is there anyway i can dynamically chane it to B ?
obviously A + 1 = A1
but is there something similar for letters?
thank you

HI
If it's just letters you want why not use char??
The code below prints out j and then k.

public class Char
{
    public static void main( String args[])
    {
    char ch = 'j';
    System.out.println( ch );
    ch++;
    System.out.println( ch );
    }
}

Hope that helps,
Terry Doyle

Remember, Strings are immutable, so there is nothing that you can do to dynamically or explicitly change the value of a string.
The suggestion to use chars is a good one. Remember that chars are primitive in Java.
