Given a character array and we have to convert it to the string in Java.

Java char[] to string conversion

There are two ways to convert a character array to the string in Java, which are,

1. Using String.valueOf(char[]) method
2. By creating a new string with character array

1) Java char[] to string example: Using String.valueOf(char[]) method

valueOf() method is a String class method, it accepts a character array and returns the string.

Example:

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char[] charArray = {'I', 'n', 'c', 'l', 'u', 'd', 'e', 'h', 'e', 'l', 'p'};
        String str ="";
        
        //converting from char[] to string
        str = String.valueOf(charArray);
        
        //printing value 
        System.out.println("str = " + str);
        
    }
}

Output

str = Includehelp

Java char[] to string example: by creating a new string with character array

We can create a new string with the character array.

Syntax:

    String str_var = new String(char[]);

Example:

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char[] charArray = {'I', 'n', 'c', 'l', 'u', 'd', 'e', 'h', 'e', 'l', 'p'};
        String str ="";
        
        //creating a new string  from char[]
        str = new String(charArray);
        
        //printing value 
        System.out.println("str = " + str);
        
    }
}

Output

str = Includehelp
