Checking to see if a String begins with a vowel in Java.

[Tekk]

How would I go about checking a string to see if it begins with a vowel. I have a homework for my programming class and it requires us to use either a or an. (like an elephant, not a elephant).

ANyway...any ideas? I think it might be something like:

char c = string.charAt(0);

0 being the first letter in the string. Thanks

how 'bout a function like:

private boolean beginsWithVowel (String s)
{
 return ( s.startsWith ("a") || s.startsWith ("e") || s.startsWith ("i") || s.startsWith ("o") || s.startsWith ("u") );
}
