toLowerCase(char) method?

Apparently there is a method that takes a char and returns a char: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#toLowerCase(char)

But I can't seem to get it to work. My code:

import java.lang.Character;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char c = 'A';
        c = toLowerCase(c);
        System.out.println(c);
    }
}

When I compile this, I get the following error:

$ javac Test.java
Test.java:6: cannot find symbol
symbol  : method toLowerCase(char)
location: class Test
        c = toLowerCase(c);
            ^
1 error

What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

public class Test {  
    public static void main(String[] args) {  
        char c = 'A';  
        char lc = Character.toLowerCase(c);  
        System.out.println(lc);  
    }  
}

toLowerCase() is a method of java.lang.String; you use it like so:


jcomeau@intrepid:/tmp$ cat test.java; java test
public class test {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  System.out.println("C".toLowerCase());
 }
}
c
