Java program to get the contents of a given string as a byte array.

💻 Program Code

public class Exercise {

  public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String str = "This is a sample string.";

        // Copy the contents of the String to a byte array.
        // Only copy characters 4 through 10 from str.
        // Fill the source array starting at position 2.
        char[] arr = new char[] { ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',
                                  ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ' };
        str.getChars(4, 10, arr, 2);

        // Display the contents of the byte array.
        System.out.println("The char array equals \"" +
            arr + "\"");
    }
}

                        

🖥 Program Output

The char array equals "[C@15db9742"

Master Programming Through Practical Examples

Improve your coding logic, problem-solving skills and programming confidence by practicing real-world examples with explanations.

🎯 How to learn from this example

First understand the algorithm carefully. Then study the program line-by-line and compare it with the output. Finally, review the explanation section to strengthen your logic and programming understanding.

🔥 Practice suggestion

Rewrite the program without looking at the code. Modify values, conditions or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and strengthens coding skills much faster.
