hi katy,

You can also used substring() method of string object to show first three characters of entered name.

import java.io.*;
class GetCharacter
{
public GetCharacter()
{
System.out.print("Enter name:");
try{
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String name = br.readLine();
String st=name.substring(0,3);
System.out.println(st);
}
catch(Exception e){}
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
new GetCharacter();
}
}

Thanks
