• what's simplest way print java array? 24 answers

first of all,i newbie in java , came across issue several times. trying return number of occurrences of char in string , implemented method called countcharacters looks this:

public static int[] countcharacters(string s) {     string alphabet="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";   int[] sircounter=new int[alphabet.length()];  for(int i=0;i<sircounter.length;i++)  {      sircounter[i]=0;  }   for(int j=0;j<alphabet.length();j++)  {      for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++)      {          if(alphabet.charat(j)==(s.charat(i)))          {               sircounter[j]++;            }       }   }   return sircounter; } 

in other words, each time character alphabet found in string ,the argument of method, value 0 each position sircounter incremented number of occurrence. wanted print array position position didn't work , if in main method:

string text="hannah"; system.out.println(class.countcharacters(text)); 

i hex code: [i@659e0bfd don't understand. me? many , have nice day!

this happening because array treated object in java.and when try print object in java hash code(as long object hasn't have tostring() defined!)

try rather-

string text="hannah"; int counter[]=class.countcharacters(text); for(int i=0;i<counter.length;i++){     system.out.print(counter[i]+" "); }
