Append a single character to a string or char array in java?

Question

Is it possible to append a single character to the end of array or string in java. Example:

private static void /*methodName*/ () {                 String character = "a"     String otherString = "helen";     //this is where i need help, i would like to make the otherString become      // helena, is there a way to do this?                } 

Answer 1

1. String otherString = "helen" + character;  2. otherString +=  character; 

Answer 2

You'll want to use the static method Character.toString(char c) to convert the character into a string first. Then you can use the normal string concatenation functions.
