In this lesson, we’ll examine the similarities and differences between the String class and the char primitive type. Strings are simply sequences of chars.
We also learn that all char values have a corresponding int value. chars are actually stored as numbers! For example, 65 corresponds to ‘A’, 66 corresponds to ‘B’, and so on. We’ll learn about special characters like tabs, quotes, and new lines, and how to store and print these special characters using escape sequences like ‘\n’
Lastly, we learn about the Character class. The Character class provides several useful methods that allow us to manipulate and get information about char values.
Students will be able to…
