Conversion of reference values

[Nitasha Gupta]

Object [] objArray =new Object[3];
int[] intArray =new int[10];

objArray=intArray; //Compile time error

Is there anyway to convert int[] to Object[] type?

[Keith Lynn]

No, Object[] and int[] are different types. You would have to step through the Object array and somehow convert each one into an int and then store them in the corresponding position in the int array.

public class IntTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Object[] things;
        int[] numbers = new int[10];
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
            numbers[i] = i;
        }
        
        things = new Integer[numbers.length];
        for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; ++i) {
            things[i] = numbers[i]; //nb
        }
    }
}

note at //nb under versions prior to jdk 1.5, you'd have to do:

things[i] = new Integer(numbers[i]);

I'm not aware of an API feature that can do this.
