Declare Char Literal in Java

The char data type stores individual characters of text such as A, E, I, etc.
Characters include text letters and symbols such as & and %, as well as special control characters that are not printable.
A string of text in Java can always be broken down into a series of characters. As an example, consider the string of text "JERRY".
This string of text consists of the five characters J, E, R, R, and Y. The relationship between characters and strings is significant because the number of characters in a string determines the string's length. Unlike C/C++, Java strings are not implemented as arrays of characters. Even though you can access characters within a string, Java strings use their own data type. More specifically, the String class is used to represent strings in Java. You will learn more about the String class a little later in the module.

char a = 'a';
char b = '@';

char letterN = '\u004E'; // The letter 'N'

char a = 0x892;  // hexadecimal literal
char b = 982;      // int literal
char c = (char)70000; // The cast is required; 70000 is out of char range
char d = (char) -98;    // cast negative number, legal

char e = -29; // Possible loss of precision; needs a cast
char f = 70000; // Possible loss of precision; needs a cast

char c = '\"'; // A double quote
char d = '\n'; // A newline
char tab = '\t'; // A tab
