Java char is also an int?

Question

I was trying to get some code done for class:

public int getValue(char value) {
    if (value == \'y\') return this.y;
    else if (value == \'x\') return th         


        

Answer 1

Hope this little example solves your confusion:

public int getValue(int value) { 
    if (value == 'y') 
        return this.y; 
    else if (value == 'x') 
        return this.x; 
}

If you pass char as an int like getValue('x'), it would return the value of the int.
