Working with a String

Question

Hi!
Trying to teach myself java.
String cat = new String ();I was reading about a command charAt, I would like to use this command to populate an array.
private static final char[] animal = {};I want put 'c' in the zero spot, 'a' in the first and 't' in the 2nd. How would I do this.
thanxs,
Warren

There are two ways of doing this - First off, as part of the array initialization:
private static final char[] animal = { 'c', 'a', 't' };Alternatively you can define a char array of length three and then populate each position:
private static final char[] animal = new char[3];
animal[0] = 'c';
animal[1] = 'a';
animal[2] = 't';
