toCharArray() in Java

The toCharArray() method converts a string to an array of char elements.

Syntax

public char[] toCharArray()

1	public char[] toCharArray()

How to Call the Method:

char[] result = str.toCharArray();

1	char[] result = str.toCharArray();

Example:

public class Test {
 
   public static void main(String args[]){
     String str = "ABC";
     char[] result = str.toCharArray();
     
     System.out.println("Char array:");
     for (int i = 0; i < result.length; i++)
     	System.out.println("Element [" + i + "]: " + result[i]);
   }
}

public class Test {

public static void main(String args[]){

String str = "ABC";

char[] result = str.toCharArray();

System.out.println("Char array:");

for (int i = 0; i < result.length; i++)

System.out.println("Element [" + i + "]: " + result[i]);

}

If you run this code on your computer, you will see the following in the console:

Commentary:

There is a string "ABC". With the help of the toCharArray() method, we have turned the string into an array of char elements {'A', 'B', 'C'}.

To show how it works, we used the loop and then displayed every char element in the console.
