2 Ways to Convert String to Character Array in Java

Here you will learn about different ways to convert string to character array in java.

1. Using String.toCharArray() Method

We can easily convert string to character array using String.toCharArray() method. It can be done in following way.

package com;

public class StringToArray {
	public static void main(String...s){
		String str = "I Love Java";
		char charArray[];
		
		//converting string to character array
		charArray = str.toCharArray();
		
		for(char c : charArray){
			System.out.print(c + " ");
		}
	}
}

Output

I   L o v e   J a v a 

2. Writing Own Logic

We can also writing our own logic. Each character of string is extracted using String.charAt() method and inserted into the character array.

package com;

public class StringToArray {
	public static void main(String...s){
		String str = "I love Java";
		char charArray[] = new char[str.length()];
		
		//converting string to character array
		for(int i = 0; i < str.length(); ++i){
			charArray[i] = str.charAt(i);
		}
	
		for(char c : charArray){
			System.out.print(c + " ");
		}
	}
}
