Top 10 Methods for Java Arrays
The following are top 10 methods for Java Array. They are the most voted questions from stackoverflow.
0. Decalre an array
String[] aArray = new String[5];
String[] bArray = {"a","b","c", "d", "e"};
String[] cArray = new String[]{"a","b","c","d","e"};
|
1. Print an array in Java
int[] intArray = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
String intArrayString = Arrays.toString(intArray);
// print directly will print reference value
System.out.println(intArray);
// [I@7150bd4d
System.out.println(intArrayString);
// [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
|
2. Create ArrayList from array
String[] stringArray = { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" };
ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(stringArray));
System.out.println(arrayList);
// [a, b, c, d, e]
|
3. Check if an array contains a certain value
String[] stringArray = { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" };
boolean b = Arrays.asList(stringArray).contains("a");
System.out.println(b);
// true
|
4. Concatenate two arrays
int[] intArray = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
int[] intArray2 = { 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
// Apache Commons Lang library
int[] combinedIntArray = ArrayUtils.addAll(intArray, intArray2);
|
5. Declare array inline
method(new String[]{"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"});
|
6. Joins the elements of the provided array into a single String
// containing the provided list of elements
// Apache common lang
String j = StringUtils.join(new String[] { "a", "b", "c" }, ", ");
System.out.println(j);
// a, b, c
|
7. Covnert ArrayList to Array
String[] stringArray = { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" };
ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(stringArray));
String[] stringArr = new String[arrayList.size()];
arrayList.toArray(stringArr);
for (String s : stringArr)
System.out.println(s);
|
8. Convert Array to Set
Set<String> set = new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(stringArray)); System.out.println(set); //[d, e, b, c, a] |
9. Reverse an array
int[] intArray = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
ArrayUtils.reverse(intArray);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(intArray));
//[5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
|
10. Remove element of an array
int[] intArray = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
int[] removed = ArrayUtils.removeElement(intArray, 3);//create a new array
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(removed));
|
One more – convert int to byte array
byte[] bytes = ByteBuffer.allocate(4).putInt(8).array();
for (byte t : bytes) {
System.out.format("0x%x ", t);
}
