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
