java - How to check if a character in a string is a digit or letter

Question

I have the user entering a single character into the program and it is stored as a string. I would like to know how I could check to see if the character that was entered is a letter or a digit. I have an if statement, so if its a letter its prints that it's a letter, and the same for a digit. The code I have so far doesn't work but I feel like I'm close. Any help you can offer is appreciated.

  System.out.println("Please enter a single character: ");
  String character = in.next();

  System.out.println(character);

  if (character.isLetter()){
    System.out.println("The character entered is a letter.");
  }
  else (character.isDigit()){
    Syste.out.println("The character entered is a digit.");

You could use:

    if (Character.isLetter(character.charAt(0))){
    ....
