How do I write a method that returns an array where ith element contains a[i] + b[i]?

How do I write a method that returns an array where ith element contains a[i] + b[i]?
This is what I have so far:

public class NewClass
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int[] res = new int[5];
int[] arraySum = new int[5];
int[] a = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
int[] b = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4};

res = arraySum(a, b);
System.out.println("The array is: " + res);
}

public static int[] arraySum(int[] a, int[] b)
{
int[] arr = new int[5];
for(int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
{
arr[i] = a[i] + b[i];
}
return arr;
}
}

But in the output I get:
The array is: [I@2e6e1408
What should I change?
Thanks ;)

Change your output statement. You need to run through each part of the array to display it on the screen.

for(int i = 0; i < res.length; i++)
     System.out.println(res[i]);

Thank you very much, that worked great!

No problem, arrays can be tricky at first.

To expand on the topic at hand, the reason you get [I@2e6e1408 as an output, is because that is the memory location your array variable references, and it also is the default behavior when trying to print out objects. To avoid these kind of problems in the future with your own classes, always override the toString() method:

public class Output1 {
  private int x;
  public Output1(int x) {
    this.x = x;
  }
}

class Output2 {
  private int x;
  public Output2(int x) {
    this.x = x;
  }

  public String toString() {
    return x+""; //the +"" part is to convert x from int to String
  }
}

class OutputTest {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Output1 o1 = new Output1(2);
    Output2 o2 = new Output2(2);
    System.out.println(o1); //here you get something similar as your problem
    System.out.println(o2); //here the output is 2
  }
}

Thanks, I really appreciate the help.
