Comparing chars in Java

Question

I want to check a char variable is one of 21 specific chars, what is the shortest way I can do this?

For example:

if(symbol == (\'A\'|\'B\'|\'C\')){}         


        

Answer 1

you can use this:

if ("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".contains(String.valueOf(yourChar)))

note that you do not need to create a separate String with the letters A-Z.
