C++: char(nextChar); what doess it do
<p>What does this do: <code>char(nextChar)</code>. I have no variable named char. Am I calling the char class constructor here or something?</p>

<pre><code>int nextChar;
while ((nextChar == stream.get()) != EOF)
{
    // Convert it to a string for lookup in the symbol table
    string foundChar = "";
    foundChar += char(nextChar);

}
</code></pre>
