types - Converting stream of int's to char's in java

Question

This has probably been answered else where but how do you get the character value of an int value?

Specifically I'm reading a from a tcp stream and the readers .read() method returns an int.

How do I get a char from this?

Answer 1

Maybe you are asking for:

Character.toChars(65) // returns ['A']

More info: Character.toChars(int codePoint)

Converts the specified character (Unicode code point) to its UTF-16 representation stored in a char array. If the specified code point is a BMP (Basic Multilingual Plane or Plane 0) value, the resulting char array has the same value as codePoint. If the specified code point is a supplementary code point, the resulting char array has the corresponding surrogate pair.
