append character

[dulcinea]

hi all;

i have a probelm to append character become a string. for instance:

char first, second, third;
String theword;
for(char r = 'a'; r <= 'z'; r++){
first = r;
for(char s = 'a'; s<='z'; s++){
second = s;
for (char t = 'a'; t <= 'z'; t++){
third = t;
theword = first + second + third;
}
}
}

I want to print 'first + second + third' but i have problem to convert char into string. how actually can i convert char to string or it is possible for me to convert it? does any can give some hints or give me a related website so that can refer to it?

i really appreaciate anyone's help! thanx in advance!

regards;
dulcinea

Use theword = first +""+ second +""+ third;
doing first+second the compiler interprets the characters as chars and thus as numbers. adding an empty string will cast the chars to a string.
by the way: for loops with characters are not that nice. use something like that:

final String chars = "abcdefghijklm...";
for (int i=0; i<chars.length; i++){
  char anychar = chars.charAt(i);
}
