Java.lang.Character.forDigit() Method

Description

The java.lang.Character.forDigit(int digit, int radix) determines the character representation for a specific digit in the specified radix. If the value of radix is not a valid radix, or the value of digit is not a valid digit in the specified radix, the null character ('\u0000') is returned.

The radix argument is valid if it is greater than or equal to MIN_RADIX and less than or equal to MAX_RADIX. The digit argument is valid if 0 ≤ digit < radix.

If the digit is less than 10, then '0' + digit is returned. Otherwise, the value 'a' + digit − 10 is returned.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.lang.Character.forDigit() method

public static char forDigit(int digit, int radix)

Parameters

• digit - the number to convert to a character

• radix - the radix

Return Value

This method returns the char representation of the specified digit in the specified radix.

Exception

• NA

Example

The following example shows the usage of lang.Character.forDigit() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.*;

public class CharacterDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create 2 character primitives ch1, ch2
      char ch1, ch2;

      // create 2 int primitives i1, i2 and assign values
      int i1 = 3;
      int i2 = 14;

      // assign char representation of i1, i2 to ch1, ch2 using radix
      ch1 = Character.forDigit(i1, 10);
      ch2 = Character.forDigit(i2, 16);

      String str1 = "Char representation of " + i1 + " in radix 10 is " + ch1;
      String str2 = "Char representation of " + i2 + " in radix 16 is " + ch2;

      // print ch1, ch2 values
      System.out.println( str1 );
      System.out.println( str2 );
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:

Char representation of 3 in radix 10 is 3
Char representation of 14 in radix 16 is e
