String getBytes() Method

getBytes() method is a String method in java and it is used to get the byte values of a given string.

Syntax:

    byte[] String.getBytes();

It accepts String and returns byte array.

Example:

    Input: "IncludeHelp"

    Output:
    73
    110
    99
    108
    117

            //printing byte array (each elements in nubers)
            System.out.println("Byte values of each character...");
            for(int i =0; i<str.length(); i++)
                System.out.println("arr[" + i +"] = " + arr[i]);

        catch(Exception ex){
            System.out.println("Error: " + ex.toString());
        }
    }
}

Output

Byte values of each character...
arr[0] = 73
arr[1] = 110
arr[2] = 99
arr[3] = 108
arr[4] = 117
arr[5] = 100
arr[6] = 101
arr[7] = 72
arr[8] = 101
arr[9] = 108
