public class ConvertCharToString {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        char chInput = 'M';
 
        System.out.println("Input Character : "+ chInput);
        //Convert char to string using Character.toString
        String strValue = Character.toString(chInput);
        System.out.println("String using Character.toString: " +strValue);
 
        //Convert char to string using String.valueOf
        strValue = String.valueOf(chInput);
        System.out.println("String using String.valueOf: " +strValue);
 
        //Convert char to string using String.format
        strValue = String.format("%c", chInput);
        System.out.println("String using String.format: " +strValue);
 
        //Convert char to string using + operator
        strValue = ""+chInput;
        System.out.println("String using + operator: " +strValue);
    }
}

Output: char to string using String, Character & + operator

Input Character : M
String using Character.toString: M
String using String.valueOf: M
String using String.format: M
String using + operator: M
