How to find the first character of one dimensional string in java

public class solution{
public static void main(String args){
String priya={"priya","nandhni","nithesh","varan","rekha","sri"};
for(int i=0;i<priya.length;i++)
{
System.out.println(priya.charAt(i));
}
}
}


This is not working.How can I separate first letters p, n, n, v, r, s to a char array from the above string using java?

String.charAt(index)

If you want to directly print the first character of every String without using the character array, then you can use this snippet:

public class solution{
public static void main(String args){
String priya={"priya","nandhni","nithesh","varan","rekha","sri"};
for(int i=0;i<priya.length;i++)
{
System.out.println(priya[i].charAt(0));
}
}


The only thing you are doing wrong is you are not specifying priya is an array, after specifying an array & its index value you can only use the string methods on it. So just replace your priya.charAt(i) with priya[i].charAt(0).

Hope this solve your problem.

You can try following snippet:

public static void main(String args){
String priya={"priya","nandhni","nithesh","varan","rekha","sri"};
char firstChars=new char[priya.length];
for(int i=0;i<priya.length;i++)
{
firstChars[i] = priya[i].charAt(0);
}
}


Then you can print or do some manipulating that you want
