Submitted by IncludeHelp, on May 03, 2020

Given a character array, we have to convert it into a string.

Example:

    Input:
    char array: ['i', 'n', 'd', 'i', 'a']

    Output:
    string = "india"

Program to convert character array to string in Kotlin

package com.includehelp.basic

import java.util.*

//Main Function entry Point of Program
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    //Input Stream
    val scanner = Scanner(System.`in`)

    //Input Char Array Size
    print("Enter Char Array size: ")
    val size = scanner.nextInt()

    //Create Character array of Given size
    val charArray = CharArray(size)

    //Input array elements
    println("Enter Char Arrays Elements:")
    for (i in charArray.indices) {
        print("charArray[$i] : ")
        charArray[i] = scanner.next()[0]
    }

    //Print All Array Elements
    println("Array : ${charArray.contentToString()} ")

    //Get String from Cahr Array
    var strFromArray = String(charArray)

    //print String from Array
    println("String Converted from Array  : $strFromArray")
}

Output
