Soms moeten we een lijst met tekens omzetten in een string. Een string is een reeks karakters, dus we kunnen gemakkelijk een string vormen uit een karakterarray. We hebben een aantal speciale strings, zoals een palindroomstring (een string die hetzelfde is als de originele string nadat je deze hebt omgedraaid). Om een string om te keren, moeten we de string omzetten in een char-array voor het omkeren van alle tekens van de string, en na het omkeren van de char-array moeten we deze omzetten in een string.
In Java hebben we verschillende manieren waarop we een lijst naar een string kunnen converteren:
1. Gebruik de StringBuilder-klasse
We hebben een heel eenvoudige manier om een lijst naar een string te converteren, d.w.z. door de StringBuilder klas. We herhalen de lijst met chars met behulp van for loop en genereren een nieuwe string met behulp van StringBuilder.
Laten we de code implementeren voor het converteren van een lijst naar een string met behulp van de klasse StringBuilder:
ConvertListToStringExample1.java
// import required classes and packages if any package javaTpoint.JavaExample; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import java.util.Scanner; // create class ConvertListToStringExample1 that will convert user given char list into a string class ConvertListToStringExample1 { // main() method start public static void main(String[] args) { // declare variables and list int size; String str; List charList = new ArrayList(); // create Scanner class object to take input from user Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println('Enter size of char list.'); size = sc.nextInt(); for(int i = 0; i <size; i++) { system.out.println('enter char['+i+']: '); charlist.add(sc.next().charat(0)); } close scanner class object sc.close(); display chrlist elements system.out.println('list: ' + charlist); create an of stringbuilder builder="new" stringbuilder(); iterate charlist and append each char to one by for (character ch : charlist) builder.append(ch); convert into string str="builder.toString();" system.out.println('string after converting list: str); < pre> <p> <strong>Output:</strong> </p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/java-tutorial/39/convert-list-string-java.webp" alt="Convert List to String in Java"> <h3>2. Using Joiner class</h3> <p>Like <strong>StringBuilder</strong> , we have one more class, i.e., <strong>Joiner</strong> class, through which we can convert a list into a string. We use the <strong>join()</strong> method of the Joiner class, which is also known as the <strong>Guava</strong> method. The join() method joins the pieces into the specified text as an array and returns the results as a string.</p> <p>Let's implement the code for converting a list into a string by using the Joiner class:</p> <p>We are using the maven project, so it is required to add the following dependency in our POM.xml file.</p> <pre> com.google.guava guava r05 </pre> <p> <strong>ConvertListToStringExample2.java</strong> </p> <pre> // import required classes and packages if any import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import java.util.Scanner; import com.google.common.base.Joiner; // create class ConvertListToStringExample2 that will convert user given char list into a string using Joiner class class ConvertListToStringExample2 { // main() method start public static void main(String[] args) { // declare variables and list int size; String str; List charList = new ArrayList(); // create Scanner class object to take input from user Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println('Enter size of char list.'); size = sc.nextInt(); for(int i = 0; i <size; i++) { system.out.println('enter char['+i+']: '); charlist.add(sc.next().charat(0)); } close scanner class object sc.close(); display chrlist elements system.out.println('list: ' + charlist); convert list into string by using joiner str="Joiner.on('').join(charList);" system.out.println('string after converting list: str); < pre> <p> <strong>Output:</strong> </p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/java-tutorial/39/convert-list-string-java-2.webp" alt="Convert List to String in Java"> <h3>3.
