6,375 PointsA char in Java is a data type to represent a single character. If this can help, you can view a String (which is also another data type in java) as an array/combination/grouping of char.
For example lets take your name "Niyamat", it is made up of 7 characters (char). You can look at each keyboard entry as a char.
