Unicode Character ??

[vadiraj vd]

Hi all,
here's a program which refuses to compile. I don't know what is the problem. Could anyone help me?
The code
---------
public class Unicode
{
public static void main(String a[])
{
char c1 = '\u000a'; // 1.
char c2 = '\u000b'; // 2.
System.out.println("c1 = " + c1 );
System.out.println("c2 = " + c2);
}
}
---------
The compiler gives error :- invalid character constant and ';' expected at line 1.
Thanx in advance.

Actually it is clearly given in JLS that u can't assign LF r any special escape sequences like this.
'\u000a' is nothing but Line feed. Even u make that statement as comment also it will lead 2 an compilation error, u just check it. I have slightly altered ur program u just check it out, i remember that i seen similar question in some mock exam.

public class Unicode
{
    public static void main(String a[])
    {
        //char c1 = '\u000a'; // 1.
    }
}

code:
--------------
public class Unicode{
public static void main(String a[]) { //char c1 = '\u000a'; // 1.
}
}
-------------------------
you are right, it gave error even if I make the line 1 as comment.
Thanks Jaganathan.
