This code snippet is useful for converting when a lot of array is given and needs in collection.
import java.util.*; import java.io.*; public class ArrayToCollection{ public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{ BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in)); System.out.println("Number of elements you want to add to the array: "); int n = Integer.parseInt(in.readLine()); String[] name = new String[n]; for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){ name[i] = in.readLine(); } List list = Arrays.asList(name); System.out.println(); for(String li: list){ String str = li; System.out.print(str + " "); } } }
