    c = '@'

import java.util.*

//Main Function, entry Point of Program
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    // InputStream to get Input
    val scanner = Scanner(System.`in`)

    //Input Character
    print("Enter Character : ")
    val char = scanner.next()[0]

    when {
        char.isDigit() -> println("Digit")
