public class StudyTonight
{  
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{  
		char ch1 = '0';  
		char ch2 = 'd';  
		char ch3 = 'D';  
		char ch4 = 'k';   
		char ch5 = 'P';  

		boolean b1 = Character.isUpperCase(ch1);  
		boolean b2 = Character.isUpperCase(ch2);  
		boolean b3 = Character.isUpperCase(ch3);  
		boolean b4 = Character.isUpperCase(ch4);  
		boolean b5 = Character.isUpperCase(ch5);  

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

			Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);         
			char ch = sc.next().charAt(0);  
			boolean b = Character.isUpperCase(ch);
