You should use your custom input reader for faster results instead of extracting first character from reading String. Link for Custom ScanReader and explanation: https://gist.github.com/nik1010/5a90fa43399c539bb817069a14c3c5a8

Code for scanning Char :

BufferedInputStream br=new BufferedInputStream(System.in);
char a= (char)br.read();
