Take a char input from the scanner

Question

Below is my code to take ‘char’ input from the keyboard: 

Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);

char c = reader.nextChar();

But this method doesn’t exist. Can anyone tell me how to explicitly take a char input from the Scanner? 

Answer 1

1. To take first character: 

char c = reader.next().charAt(0);

2. To take exactly one character : 

char c = reader.findInLine(".").charAt(0);

3. To take strictly one character:

char c = reader.next(".").charAt(0);
