Character

• java.lang.Object

Fields Summary
public static final int	MIN_RADIX The minimum radix available for conversion to and from Strings.
public static final int	MAX_RADIX The maximum radix available for conversion to and from Strings.
public static final char	MIN_VALUE The constant value of this field is the smallest value of type char.
public static final char	MAX_VALUE The constant value of this field is the largest value of type char.
private char	value The value of the Character.
static DefaultCaseConverter	cc

Constructors Summary
public Character(char value) Constructs a Character object and initializes it so that it represents the primitive value argument. param value value for the new Character object. this.value = value;

Methods Summary
static DefaultCaseConverter	caseConverter() if (cc != null) { return cc; } String ccName = "?"; try { /* Get the default encoding name */ ccName = System.getProperty("java.lang.Character.caseConverter"); if (ccName == null) { ccName = "com.sun.cldc.i18n.uclc.DefaultCaseConverter"; } /* Using the decoder names lookup a class to implement the reader */ Class clazz = Class.forName(ccName); /* Return a new instance */ cc = (DefaultCaseConverter)clazz.newInstance(); } catch(Exception x) { throw new RuntimeException( /* #ifdef VERBOSE_EXCEPTIONS */ /// skipped "Cannot find case converter class "+ccName+" -> "+x.getMessage() /* #endif */ ); } return cc;
public char	charValue() Returns the value of this Character object. return the primitive char value represented by this object. return value;
public static int	digit(char ch, int radix) Returns the numeric value of the character ch in the specified radix. param ch the character to be converted. param radix the radix. return the numeric value represented by the character in the specified radix. see java.lang.Character#isDigit(char) since JDK1.0 return caseConverter().digit(ch, radix);
public boolean	equals(java.lang.Object obj) Compares this object against the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Character object that represents the same char value as this object. param obj the object to compare with. return true if the objects are the same; false otherwise. if (obj instanceof Character) { return value == ((Character)obj).charValue(); } return false;
public int	hashCode() Returns a hash code for this Character. return a hash code value for this object. return (int)value;
public static boolean	isDigit(char ch) Determines if the specified character is a digit. param ch the character to be tested. return true if the character is a digit; false otherwise. since JDK1.0 return caseConverter().isDigit(ch);
public static boolean	isLowerCase(char ch) Determines if the specified character is a lowercase character. param ch the character to be tested. return true if the character is lowercase; false otherwise. since JDK1.0 return caseConverter().isLowerCase(ch);
public static boolean	isUpperCase(char ch) Determines if the specified character is an uppercase character. param ch the character to be tested. return true if the character is uppercase; false otherwise. see java.lang.Character#isLowerCase(char) see java.lang.Character#toUpperCase(char) since 1.0 return caseConverter().isUpperCase(ch);
public static char	toLowerCase(char ch) The given character is mapped to its lowercase equivalent; if the character has no lowercase equivalent, the character itself is returned. param ch the character to be converted. return the lowercase equivalent of the character, if any; otherwise the character itself. see java.lang.Character#isLowerCase(char) see java.lang.Character#isUpperCase(char) see java.lang.Character#toUpperCase(char) since JDK1.0 return caseConverter().toLowerCase(ch);
public java.lang.String	toString() Returns a String object representing this character's value. Converts this Character object to a string. The result is a string whose length is 1. The string's sole component is the primitive char value represented by this object. return a string representation of this object. char buf[] = {value}; return String.valueOf(buf);
public static char	toUpperCase(char ch) Converts the character argument to uppercase; if the character has no lowercase equivalent, the character itself is returned. param ch the character to be converted. return the uppercase equivalent of the character, if any; otherwise the character itself. see java.lang.Character#isLowerCase(char) see java.lang.Character#isUpperCase(char) see java.lang.Character#toLowerCase(char) since JDK1.0 return caseConverter().toUpperCase(ch);
