character initialization

[sangeetha balasubramaniam]

Hi,
I am preparing for SCJP

 
class ABC {
  public static void main (String[] args) {
    char a = 061;      // 1
    char b = '\61';    // 2
    char c = '\061';   // 3
    char d = 0x0031;   // 4
    char e = '\u0031'; // 5
    System.out.print(""+a+b+c+d+e);
}}

After executing this program there is no compile time error.My doubt is i thought always char initializtion should be enclosed with single quotes.
Also can someone help me with different forms for caharacter initialization please.

Thanks in Advance,
Sangeetha

char stores number, a char store a number
range is from 0 to 65535.

so you can say char c=97; // equvivalent to char c='a'; 'a' ascii is 97

sangeetha,

on the other hand following declaration results in a compile time error :

char e = \u0031 ; //observe, no tick marks
