Ok,

For my Java class I need to implement the Farmer/Wolf/Goat/Cabbage puzzle.

For the input to the program I am to use command line arguments that will be just the letters E or W indicating which side of the river each thing is on and which side they should be on when finished.

What I want to do is take the String arguments passed and change them into char variables so I can easily compare them and such. I can't seem to figure out how to change a string of one letter into a char though.

Can anyone give me some form of advice?

Thank you.

char c = str.charAt(0);

Thank you.

I knew it had to be something simple, I just wasn't finding it

isn't there also a way to read from System.in char by char?

char[] inputChars=input.toCharArray();

char inp=inputChars[0];
