character function

[Kevin Fonner]

Many other languages have a char() function that allow me to turn a integer value of a corresponding ascii or unicode character to an actual char. I tried just char(), but that didn't work. Anybody with an idea how I can do this??

hi Kevin
try to run the following coding in the main method

  
int a[] =new int[10];
char b[]=new char[10];
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)
{
  b[i]=(char)(50+i);
  a[i]=(int)b[i];
  System.out.println(a[i] +"="+b[i]);
}

Actually,you can use explicit type casting in Java to do the convertion between primitive integer and character.
Hope this help
