How to check if a char is equal to an empty space?

Question

Here's what I've got:

private static int countNumChars(String s) {
    for(char c : s.toCharArray()){
        if (Equals(c," "))
    }
}

But that code says it cannot find Symbol for that method. I remember Java having a comparer like this... Any suggestions?

Answer 1

To compare Strings you have to use the equals keyword.

if(c.equals(""))
{
}

Answer 2

Since char is a primitive type, you can just write c == ' '.
You only need to call equals() for reference types like String or Character.

Answer 3

You can try:

if(Character.isSpaceChar(ch))
{
    // Do something...
}

Or:

if((int) ch) == 32)
{
    // Do something...
}

Answer 4

if (c == ' ')

char is a primitive data type, so it can be compared with ==.

Also, by using double quotes you create String constant (" "), while with single quotes it's a char constant (' ').

Answer 5

In this case, you are thinking of the String comparing function "String".equals("some_text"). Chars do not need to use this function. Instead a standard == comparison operator will suffice.

private static int countNumChars(String s) {
    for(char c : s.toCharArray()){
        if (c == ' ') // your resulting outcome
    }
}

Answer 6

My suggestion would be:

if (c == ' ')
