Answer 1

should be 'c' ... do you need an explanation why ? or what is the question ^^

Answer 2

You're getting that because it's the ASCII value of the char.
char is actually an integer type. It stores the 16-bit Unicode integer value of the character in question.

You can look at something like http://asciitable.com to see the different values for different characters.

Answer 3

alijany already said it, it is because a char (eg. 'a') instead of a string (eg "a") has a fix ASCII value. by adding a numeric value to it you get the next ASCII value in the line ... so bei adding 2 to the value of a you get c.

you can google ascii table to see some examples and play around with it

Answer 4

{
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a = 'a';
char b = 98;
System.out.println(a); // prints value of 'a'
System.out.println(b); // prints char of value 98
