Convert ArrayList to an Array in Java

import java.util.ArrayList;
 
class ArrayListToArray {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    ArrayList<String> languages= new ArrayList<>();
 
    // Add elements in the arraylist
    languages.add("New York");
    languages.add("London");
    languages.add("Washington");
    System.out.println("ArrayList: " + languages);
 
    // Create a String type array 
    String[] arr = new String[languages.size()];
 
    // Convert ArrayList into the string array
    languages.toArray(arr);
    System.out.print("Array: ");
    for(String item:arr) {
      System.out.print(item+", ");
    }
  }
} 

 ArrayList: [New York, London, Washington]
 Array: New York, London, Washington, 

• In this program, firstly an arraylist called languages has been created which is to be converted into an array afterwards.
• The code for converting this arraylist into an array is given by: languages.toArray(arr);
• toArray() method is used for converting ‘languages’ into an array and the converted version is then stored in arr which is a string type array variable.

• If the method toArray() doesn’t have any argument passed to it, then it will return an array of the type object.
