string to char array, showing silly characters

问题

It is a really simple question but I need an another eye to look at my code:

String strtr = "iNo:";
char[] queryNo = strtr.toCharArray();
System.out.println(queryNo + " =this is no");

and the output is:

[C@177b4d3 =this is no

What are these characters, do you have any idea?

回答1:

That's how toString() is implemented for arrays.

The [C denotes that is a char array, 177b4d3 is its hashcode.

You may want to look at

System.out.println(Arrays.toString(queryNo) + " =this is no");

if you want to see your original String again, you need this:

System.out.println((new String(queryNo)) + " =this is no");

回答2:

Arrays do not override toString(), it is inherited from Object.toString as

public String toString() {
    return getClass().getName() + "@" + Integer.toHexString(hashCode());
}

回答3:

you are printing the object

queryno, as queryno is a character array of on dimension and java is an object oriented language which holds every thing in the form of classes it gives the class name [C to your array where [ denotes total dimension and C denotes character type of array, Rest is the hashcode of the object.

回答4:

You are trying to print the array and that is the reason you get gibberish. Try using Arrays.toString(queryNo) and you will see what you expected.
