Java: printing an array without Arrays.toString

Question

public String[] geefAlleTemplateNamen(String[][] templateLijst){
    String[] lijst = new String[templateLijst.length];
    for(int i = 0; i < templateLijst.length; i++){
        lijst[i] = templateLijst[i][0];
    }
return lijst;
}

The code above returns an array 'lijst'.

System.out.println(geefAlleTemplateNamen(templateLijst));

With this piece of code I tried to print that array, but it prints the location of the array. I know this can be solved by importing Java.util.Arrays, but I am not allowed to do this (school project), is there any way to solve this?

Thank you!

Answer 1

The simplest and easiest way to do this is to throw your array into a for loop.

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

Printing the array itself should and will print its memory location, and you'll want to access each member of the array individually instead.

Answer 2

Easiest solution would be,

for(String s: lijst)
{
    System.out.println(s);
}
