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:
Java
Java
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:
Program 2: When we assign the value of x by any digit:
Primitive char value is z
// 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
