    In Java, printing an array directly (e.g., System.out.println(myArray)) will not display its elements but rather its type and hash code. To output the actual contents, you can use built-in utilities or loops.

    Example:

    import java.util.Arrays;

    public class PrintArrayExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    String[] names = {"John", "Mary", "Bob"};

    // Single-dimensional arrays
    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(numbers)); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(names)); // [John, Mary, Bob]

    // Multi-dimensional arrays
    String[][] deepArray = {{"John", "Mary"}, {"Alice", "Bob"}};
    System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(deepArray)); // [[John, Mary], [Alice, Bob]]
    }
    }
    Copied!

    This uses Arrays.toString() for one-dimensional arrays and Arrays.deepToString() for nested arrays.

    Using Loops

    • For loop:

    for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
    System.out.print(numbers[i] + " ");
    }
    Copied!

    • Enhanced for-each loop:

    for (String name : names) {
    System.out.println(name);
    }
    Copied!

    What's the simplest way to print a Java array? - Stack Overflow

    We could have used Arrays.toString() to print one dimensional array and Arrays.deepToString() for multi-dimensional arrays.
    Overview

    2398 In Java, arrays don't override toString(), so if you try to print one directly, you get the className + '@' + the hex of the hashCode of the array, as defined by Object.toString(): But usually, we'd actually want something more like [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. W…
