Answer 1

char is just one character

Answer 2

Ziyaan, you wrote:
>> char is just one character
eg: "h" <<
which is half true.
Char is one character, it is true, but you have to write it like this: 'h'.
When you write it like this: "h" it means String with just one character in it.
Strings are objects, and char is primitive type.
You can type System.out.print("h".length()) /try this in Code Playground/
and as a result you'll get the length of object "h".

Answer 3

char is only one single character & stores memory a little bit lower than string.
eg: char "a"
string "apple"

they both need " " or ' ' (double quote).
