To check if a character is a white space character in Java, you can use the Character.isWhitespace()
method. This method returns true
if the character is a white space character, and false
if it is not.
Here is an example of how to use the Character.isWhitespace()
method:
char c1 = ' '; // Space character char c2 = '\t'; // Tab character char c3 = '\n'; // Newline character char c4 = 'a'; // Non-white space character System.out.println(Character.isWhitespace(c1)); // Outputs true System.out.println(Character.isWhitespace(c2)); // Outputs true System.out.println(Character.isWhitespace(c3)); // Outputs true System.out.println(Character.isWhitespace(c4)); // Outputs false
In this example, the Character.isWhitespace()
method is called with the characters c1
, c2
, c3
, and c4
as arguments. It returns true
for the white space characters c1
, c2
, and c3
, and false
for the non-white space character c4
.
Note that the Character.isWhitespace()
method recognizes the following characters as white space characters: space, tab, newline, carriage return, and form feed.

method and other methods related to character handling in Java, you can refer to the Java documentation or other online resources.
