In this post, we feature a Char to String Java Example and how to convert String to Character Array in Java. We will see how to convert a Character to String and a String to a StringArray.
Char to String Java Example
A character is a unit of information that roughly corresponds to a grapheme, grapheme-like unit, or symbol, such as in an alphabet or syllabary in the written form of a natural language. A string is traditionally a sequence of characters, either as a literal constant or as some kind of variable.
In the first Java program we convert a Character to String. Basically there are two ways to do that:
- the
Character.toString(char )method of theCharacterclass - the
String.valueOf(char )method of theStringClass.
To be precise the Character.toString(char ) method internally uses String.valueOf(char ) method. So you are be better off with String.valueOf(char).
CharToString.java
package com.javacodegeeks.java.core;
public class CharToString {
public static void main(String[] args) {
char ch = 'J';
String string1 = Character.toString(ch);
String string2 = String.valueOf(ch);
System.out.println("character is : " + ch
+ ". String using String.valueOf(char c): " + string2);
System.out.println("character is : " + ch
+ ". String using Character.toString(char c): " + string1);
}
}
Output
character is : J. String using String.valueOf(char c): J character is : J. String using Character.toString(char c): J
Now we are going to use String.toCharArray() to convert a string into an array of characters.
StringToCharArray.java
package com.javacodegeeks.java.core;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class StringToCharArray {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String string = "JavaCodeGeeks";
char[] charArray = string.toCharArray();
System.out.println("String is:" + string + " Character Array : "
+ Arrays.toString(charArray));
}
}
As you can see I am using Arrays.toString(char[]) in order to print the character array in a more readable way. So the output will be:
String is:JavaCodeGeeks Character Array : [J, a, v, a, C, o, d, e, G, e, e, k, s]
