Java Character valueOf() Method

The valueOf(char c)method of Character class returns the instance of the Character which represents the given char value. If the new object of the Character is not required, then the method should be used in preference to the constructor Character(char).

The above method is likely to provide better space and time performance. This method will cache the values in the range of '\u0000' to '\u007F' and there might be some possibilities to cache the other values outside the range.

Syntax

Parameters

c: It is the character value that needs to be tested.

Return Value

The valueOf(char c)method returns the object of Character.

Example 1

public class JavaCharactervalueOfExample1 {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      // Create two character primitives c1 and c2.
      Character c1, c2;
      // Create two char primitives and assign the values.
         char ch1 = 'A';
         char ch2 = 'h';
      // Assign the character values of ch1 and ch2 to c1 and c2.
        c1 = Character.valueOf(ch1);
        c2 = Character.valueOf(ch2);
       String str1 = "The character value of the character '" + ch1 + "' is given as: " + c1;
      String str2 = "The character value of the character '" + ch2 + "' is given as: " + c2;
      // Print the values of ch1 and ch2.
      System.out.println( str1 );
      System.out.println( str2 );
  }
}

Test it Now

Output:

The character value of the character 'A' is given as: A
The character value of the character 'h' is given as: h

Example 2

public class JavaCharactervalueOfExample2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
	// Declare two string values.
	   String str1 = "Hello";
           String str2 = "Everyone";
	// Convert string value to character array.
        System.out.println("The word 'Hello' can be represented as:");
	    char[] values1 = str1.toCharArray();
		for(char ch1:values1){
	// Print the value.
	   System.out.println(String.valueOf(ch1));
		}
        System.out.println("The word 'Everyone' can be represented as:");
                char[] values2 = str2.toCharArray();
		for(char ch2:values2){
	// Print the value.
	   System.out.println(String.valueOf(ch2));
	}
    }
