Getting String Representation of Arrays of boolean, byte, char and double Example

The following example shows the usage of Java Arrays toString() methods for boolean[], byte[], char[] and double[]. First, we've created four arrays of boolean, byte, char and double and then their string representation is printed using Arrays toString() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.Arrays;

public class ArrayDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // initializing arrays
      boolean[] boolArr = new boolean[] { true, true };
      byte[] byteArr = new byte[] {10, 20 };
      char[] charArr = new char[] {'A', 'B' };
      double[] doubleArr = new double[] {10.0, 20.0 };

      // printing hash code value
      System.out.println("The string representation of boolean array is: " + Arrays.toString(boolArr));
      System.out.println("The string representation of byte array is: " + Arrays.toString(byteArr));
      System.out.println("The string representation of char array is: " + Arrays.toString(charArr));
      System.out.println("The string representation of double array is: " + Arrays.toString(doubleArr));
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

The string representation of boolean array is: [true, true]
The string representation of byte array is: [10, 20]
The string representation of char array is: [A, B]
The string representation of double array is: [10.0, 20.0]

Getting String Representation of Arrays of float, int, long and short Example

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.Arrays;

public class ArrayDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // initializing arrays
      float[] floatArr = new float[] { 10.0f, 20.f };
      int[] intArr = new int[] {10, 20 };
      long[] longArr = new long[] { 10L, 20L };
      short[] shortArr = new short[] {10, 20 };

      // printing hash code value
      System.out.println("The string representation of float array is: " + Arrays.toString(floatArr));
      System.out.println("The string representation of int array is: " + Arrays.toString(intArr));
      System.out.println("The string representation of long array is: " + Arrays.toString(longArr));
      System.out.println("The string representation of short array is: " + Arrays.toString(shortArr));
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

The string representation of float array is: [10.0, 20.0]
The string representation of int array is: [10, 20]
The string representation of long array is: [10, 20]
The string representation of short array is: [10, 20]

Getting String Representation of Arrays of Object Example

The following example shows the usage of Java Arrays toString() methods for Object[]. First, we've created an array of Student object and then their string representation is printed using Arrays toString() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.Arrays;

public class ArrayDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // initializing array
      Student[] students = { new Student(1, "Julie"), new Student(3, "Adam"), new Student(2, "Robert") };

      // printing hash code value
      System.out.println("The string representation of Student array is: " + Arrays.toString(students));
   }
}
class Student {
   int rollNo;
   String name;

   Student(int rollNo, String name){
      this.rollNo = rollNo;
      this.name = name;
   }

   @Override
   public String toString() {
      return "[ " + this.rollNo + ", " + this.name + " ]";
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

The string representation of Student array is: [[ 1, Julie ], [ 3, Adam ], [ 2, Robert ]]
