Convert a String to an Array

There are many ways to convert a string to an array. The simplest way is to use thetoCharArray() method:

// Create a stringString myStr = "Hello";// Convert the string to a char arraychar[] myArray = myStr.toCharArray();// Print the first element of the arraySystem.out.println(myArray[0]);

Explanation: The methodtoCharArray() turns the string into an array of characters. Each letter of"Hello" becomes one element in the array, somyArray[0] isH.

You can also loop through the array to print all array elements:

// Create a stringString myStr = "Hello";// Convert the string to a char arraychar[] myArray = myStr.toCharArray();// Print array elementsfor (char i : myArray) {  System.out.println(i);}
