Java: Converting a set to an array for String representation

Question

From Sun\'s Java Tutorial, I would have thought this code would convert a set into an array.

import java.util.*;

public class Blagh {
    public static void mai         


        

Answer 1

The code works fine.

Replace:

System.out.println(array);

With:

System.out.println(Arrays.toString(array));

Output:

[b, c, a]
[b, c, a]

The String representation of an array displays the a "textual representation" of the array, obtained by Object.toString -- which is the class name and the hash code of the array as a hexidecimal string.
