The charAt() method, coming from the String class, allows you to pick a character out of a String object. Say, for example, a user types in "sgForums" as input. If I want to retrieve the 3rd letter 'F', the offset of the letter would be 2 (skip 2 letters), thus I would call next().charAt(2) from a Scanner object.</p> <p>If you don't understand any part of my post, please don't hesitate to clarify with me.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Fri, 04 Jul 2008 20:46:49 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2250:323070:8218388 LatecomerX http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2250/topics/323070 <p>I hope tat was not homework ...</p> Fri, 04 Jul 2008 19:17:58 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2250:323070:8218261 Fatum http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2250/topics/323070 <p>For I/O, <a href= "http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~cs302/io/JavaIO.html" rel= "nofollow">http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~cs302/io/JavaIO.html</a></p> <p>For string, <a href= "http://www.javabeginner.com/java-string-class.htm" rel= "nofollow">http://www.javabeginner.com/java-string-class.htm</a></p> <p>These 2 pages should have all the codes you would need.</p> Fri, 04 Jul 2008 19:12:10 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2250:323070:8218257 GIB http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2250/topics/323070 <p>ermm,i want to noe the code for reading in the first alphabet as a input only.<br /> eg: NAME&nbsp;&nbsp; den take in N only....help me?...lol..</p> Fri, 04 Jul 2008 13:09:12 +0800 www.sgforums.com:2250:323070:8216971 Evo4eva http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2250/topics/323070
