why string!! in spite of char?

Question

In this code we are using single letters, so we should use char but why did thay use string?

public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[ ] myNames = { "A", "B", "C", "D"};
System.out.println(myNames[2]);
}
}

Answer 1

a string can be a single character as well

furthermore, if you were to use
char[ ] myNames = .....
you would have needed to declare the array elements with a single quatation marks:
char[ ] myNames = {'A', 'B', 'C', 'D'};

and for next time, please make an actual code and post it instead of just pasting it here....

it would allow others to help you more easily

Answer 2

Maybe they shouldn't, maybe they want multiple characters sometimes.
Who knows without the actual code.
