Convert Char Array to String Array

[Mayur]

I am extremely stuck here. Pretty much I have a string from user input, that needs to be broken down into elements and put into a String array. I thought I could convert it into a char array (no problem) then use each element and set it equal to a respective element in a String array but I keep getting type mismatch errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post the code that gives the errors.
P.S Do you know about the String.toCharArray() method?

[Mayur]

	public static String[] stringToCharArray(String input) {
		int inputLength = input.length();
		char[] temp = new char[inputLength];
		String[] output = new String[inputLength];
		for(int i=0; i<inputLength; i++) {
			temp[i] = input.charAt(i);
			output[i] = temp[i];
		}
		
		return output;
	}

And no I dont know about String.toCharArray()...googling it now.

temp[i] contains a char not a String. So you can't do output[i] = temp[i];

PS. Have a look see what happens when you print

Arrays.toString("MyInput".split(""));

What you can do is
String Temp[] = input.split(" ");
Temp now contains the elements of the input string in an array format split by a space
(or u can use whatever delimiter u want)

They didn't say they want to split sentences into words. Rather into characters. See the replies already posted.

public static ->String[]<- stringToCharArray(String input

I think what Mayur meant was to break a given sentence into a String array which contains the individual words.
Thats why he is copying the word in temp to an output variable and returning that String [] variable.
so using the split function is the easiest.

just pass like this

ex : char data[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};
String str = new String(data);

just pass like this

ex : char data[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};
String str = new String(data);
