Character.charValue() in Java with examples

Java.lang.Character.charValue() is a built-in method in Java that returns the value of this character object. This method converts the Character object into its primitive data type char.

Syntax:

public char charValue() 

The function does not accepts any parameter.

Return Type: This method returns the primitive char value represented by this object.

Below programs illustrate the Java.lang.Character.charValue() method:

Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate the 
// Java.lang.Character.charValue() method 
// when the assigned char is a character 
  
import java.lang.*; 
  
public class Gfg1 { 
  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        // Create a character object 
        Character x = new Character('z'); 
  
        // assign the primitive value to a character 
        char ch = x.charValue(); 
  
        System.out.println("Primitive char value is " + ch); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Primitive char value is z

Program 2: When we assign the value of x by any digit:

// Java program to demonstrate the 
// function when the assigned value is 
// a number 
import java.lang.*; 
  
public class Gfg { 
  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        // create a Character object x 
        Character x = new Character('9'); 
  
        // assign value is a number 
        // assign the primitive value to a character 
        char ch = x.charValue(); 
  
  
        // print the primitive char value 
        System.out.println("Primitive char value is " + ch); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Primitive char value is 9
