6 ways to convert char to String in Java - Examples

If you have a char value e.g. 'a' and you want to convert it into equivalent String e.g. "a" then you can use any of the following 6 methods to convert a primitive char value into String in Java :

1) String concatenation
2) String.valueOf()
3) Character.toString()
4) Character wrapper class + toString
5) String constructor with char array
6) String.valueOf(char [])

In this article, we will see examples of each approach and learn a little bit more about it. Actually, there is lot of overlap between each method as some of them internally calls String.valueOf(), which eventually calls to a String constructor which accepts char array and creates a String object containing primitive char value with length 1. Once you know, how they work internally, it easy to decide which one is more efficient for purpose.
