strCheck is a String variable. charAt returns a character.

ok.. so how would i make it select the first character.. of user input

[rizzix]

char strCheck = strInput.charAt(i);

strCheck == 'A'; // true if strCheck contains 'A'

in java, strings start at 0, which means if you input a single character, the string will not have a character at location 1, simply change the 1 to 0 and it should be fine
