The char data type is a single 16-bit, unsigned Unicode character. It ranges from 0 to 65,535. They are not integral data type like int, short etc. i.e. the char data type can't hold the numeric values. The syntax of declaring a char type variable is shown as:
char caps = 'c';
char is a primitive data type and depends on the programming language and the operating system.
The char data type is an integral type and can therefore be used to represent integers as well as characters. However, in order to treat the representation as an actual integer, it must be explicitly converted to a non-character type, such as int.
char* new_string; // could be any type new_string = (char*) malloc (5120); // allocate memory - typecast is necessary if (new_string == NULL) ... memory exception ... ... use the data ... free (new_string); // release memory when done

String is not primitive data. Only char,int,double,and boolean are!
char is actually integer, even so they are represented with letters. Anyway, yes you can use the controlling expression of type char in switch statements.
You can't convert the data type of any variable.
unsigned char [16]
A data-type that holds values from -128 to 127.
int, but can be assigned to a short, long or char as well
