Query:Data Type Conversions :Array to Object

[Lucky J Verma]

Hi,
In java ,
We can convert(automatically convertd) array reference to object of Object class
ie
Object o;
int arr[]={1,2,3};

o=arr; //this line is legal

Now ,o points to same memory location ,to which arr was referencing.
Can we access to the data (list to value or array data) through Object o.
thnx

No, o can only access the methods of Object.

You will have to cast o to an array reference before you can access the elements with the array access operator.

Lucky,

Although you can do the following:

int arr[] = {32,44,55};

Object o = arr;

int barr[] = (int[])o;
for(int b : barr) {
System.out.println(b);
}
