- Method Detail
  - public boolean asBoolean()
    
    Coerce a character to a boolean value. A character is coerced to false if it's character value is equal to 0, and to true otherwise.
    Returns:
    the boolean value
    Since:
    1.7.0
  - public int compareTo(Number right)
    
    Compares a Character and a Number. The ordinal value of the Character is used in the comparison (the ordinal value is the unicode value which for simple character sets is the ASCII value).
    Parameters:
    right - a Number
    Returns:
    the result of the comparison
    Since:
    1.0
  - public int compareTo(Character right)
    
    Compares two Characters. The ordinal values of the Characters are compared (the ordinal value is the unicode value which for simple character sets is the ASCII value).
    Parameters:
    right - a Character
    Returns:
    the result of the comparison
    Since:
    1.0
  - public Number div(Number right)
    
    Divide a Character by a Number. The ordinal value of the Character is used in the division (the ordinal value is the unicode value which for simple character sets is the ASCII value).
    Parameters:
    right - a Number
    Returns:
    the Number corresponding to the division of left by right
    Since:
    1.0
  - public Number div(Character right)
    
    Divide one Character by another. The ordinal values of the Characters are used in the division (the ordinal value is the unicode value which for simple character sets is the ASCII value).
    Parameters:
    right - another Character
    Returns:
    the Number corresponding to the division of left by right
    Since:
    1.0
  - public Number intdiv(Number right)
    
    Integer Divide a Character by a Number. The ordinal value of the Character is used in the division (the ordinal value is the unicode value which for simple character sets is the ASCII value).
    Parameters:
    right - a Number
    Returns:
    a Number (an Integer) resulting from the integer division operation
    Since:
    1.0
  - public Number intdiv(Character right)
    
    Integer Divide two Characters. The ordinal values of the Characters are used in the division (the ordinal value is the unicode value which for simple character sets is the ASCII value).
    Parameters:
    right - another Character
    Returns:
    a Number (an Integer) resulting from the integer division operation
    Since:
    1.0
  - public boolean isDigit()
    
    Determines if a character is a digit. Synonym for 'Character.isDigit(this)'.
    Returns:
    true if the character is a digit
    See Also:
    Character.isDigit
    Since:
    1.5.7
  - public boolean isLetter()
    
    Determines if a character is a letter. Synonym for 'Character.isLetter(this)'.
    Returns:
    true if the character is a letter
    See Also:
    Character.isLetter
    Since:
    1.5.7
  - public boolean isLetterOrDigit()
    
    Determines if a character is a letter or digit. Synonym for 'Character.isLetterOrDigit(this)'.
    Returns:
    true if the character is a letter or digit
    See Also:
    Character.isLetterOrDigit
    Since:
    1.5.7
  - public boolean isLowerCase()
    
    Determines if a Character is lowercase. Synonym for 'Character.isLowerCase(this)'.
    Returns:
    true if the character is lowercase
    See Also:
    Character.isLowerCase
    Since:
    1.5.7
  - public boolean isUpperCase()
    
    Determines if a Character is uppercase. Synonym for 'Character.isUpperCase(this)'.
    Returns:
    true if the character is uppercase
    See Also:
    Character.isUpperCase
    Since:
    1.5.7
  - public boolean isWhitespace()
    
    Determines if a character is a whitespace character. Synonym for 'Character.isWhitespace(this)'.
    Returns:
    true if the character is a whitespace character
    See Also:
    Character.isWhitespace
    Since:
    1.5.7
  - public Number minus(Number right)
    
    Subtract a Number from a Character. The ordinal value of the Character is used in the subtraction (the ordinal value is the unicode value which for simple character sets is the ASCII value).
    Parameters:
