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

What you want is the Arrays toString int    method  import java util Arrays   int   array   new int lnr getLineNumber     1   int i   0             System out println Arrays toString array     There is a static Arrays toString helper method for every different primitive java type  the one for int   says this   public static String toString int   a   Returns a string representation of the contents of the specified array  The string representation consists of a list of the array s elements  enclosed in square brackets   quot    quot    Adjacent elements are separated by the characters  quot    quot   a comma followed by a space   Elements are converted to strings as by String valueOf int   Returns  quot null quot  if a is null

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
