How to convert an int array to String with toString method in Java

Question

I am using trying to use the toString int    method  but I think I am doing it wrong   http   docs oracle com javase 1 5 0 docs api java util Arrays html toString int     My code   int   array   new int lnr getLineNumber     1   int i   0   System out println array toString       The output is    I 23fc4bec   Also I tried printing like this  but   System out println new String   toString array          error on next line   The method toString   in the type String is not applicable for the arguments  int      I took this code out of bigger and more complex code  but I can add it if needed  But this should give general information   I am looking for output  like in Oracle s documentation      The string representation consists of a list of the array s elements  enclosed in square brackets         Adjacent elements are separated by the characters       a comma followed by a space

The toString method on an array only prints out the memory address  which you are getting  You have to loop though the array and print out each item by itself  for int i   array     System println i

Very much agreed with  Patrik M  but the thing with Arrays toString is that it includes     and     and     in the output  So I ll simply use a regex to remove them from outout like this  String strOfInts   Arrays toString intArray  replaceAll              s          and now you have a String which can be parsed back to java lang Number  for example    long veryLongNumber   Long parseLong intStr     Or you can use the java 8 streams  if you hate regex   String strOfInts   Arrays              stream intArray               mapToObj String  valueOf               reduce  a  b  - gt  a concat      concat b                get

Using the utility I describe here  you can have a more control over the string representation you get for your array   String   s      hello    world     RichIterable lt String gt  r   RichIterable from s   r mkString                       gives  hello  world  r mkString                       gives  hello   world  r mkString   lt              gt        gives   lt  hello  world  gt
