[hacikho]

Hello I have two char array
first one contains 'A','B','D','E'
second one contains 'C','E','A'

How can I find second array's elements which does not exist in first array?
result should be 'C'

The collection to use here is a Set. Put the first collection into a set, removeAll() the elements of the second collection and the difference you are left with is what you are trying to calculate.

The Set Interface in Oracle's Tutorial describes the usage of this collection - including a description of the very problem you pose in the section "Set Interface Bulk Operations".

Just because I'm feeling a bit obnoxious tonight:

public class T {
	public static void main(String[] args) {

		char[] first= { 'A','B','D','E' };
		char[] second = { 'C','E','A' };
 
		String s1= new String(first);
		String s2= new String(second);
		
		System.out.println(s2.replaceAll("["+s1+"]", ""));
	}
}

kind regards,
