{  
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{  
		char ch1 = 'q';  
		char ch2 = 'D';

		boolean b2 = Character.isLowerCase(ch2);  
		boolean b3 = Character.isLowerCase(ch3);  
		boolean b4 = Character.isLowerCase(ch4);  
		boolean b5 = Character.isLowerCase(ch5);  

		System.out.println(ch1 +" is a lowercase character??:  "+b1);  
		System.out.println(ch2 +" is a lowercase character??:  "+b2);  
		System.out.println(ch3 +" is a lowercase character??:  "+b3);  
		System.out.println(ch4 +" is a lowercase character?? : "+b4);  
		System.out.println(ch5 +" is a lowercase character??:  "+b5);  
	}
