I d like to give a small addition to the existing answers  You get the same  Unclosed Character Literal error   if you give value to a char with incorrect unicode form  Like when you write   char HI     3072     You have to use the correct form which is   char HI     u3072

Character only takes one value dude  like  char y    h   and maybe you typed like char y    hello   or smthg  good luck  for the question asked above the answer is pretty simple u have to use DOUBLE QUOTES to give a string value  easy enough

In Java  single quotes can only take one character  with escape if necessary  You need to use full quotation marks as follows for strings   y    hello     You also used   System out println g     which I assume should be  System out println y     Note  When making char values  you ll likely use them later  you need single quotes  For example   char foo  m
