Taking char input via Scanner class

Question

I am trying to insert a char value from scanner class. I tried it in the following way.

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
character = sc.nextChar();

It's not working Since my next method only take char value. I tried it by using sc.charAt(0). it worked. Is there another way to try.

Use the following

char c= sc.nextLine().charAt(0);

Here, you are reading a string and take the first character of it.
