Ints toArray() function | Guava | Java

Guava’s Ints.toArray() returns an array containing each value of collection, converted to a int value in the manner of Number.intValue()

Syntax:

public static int[] 
    toArray(Collection<? extends Number> collection)

Parameters: This method takes the collection as parameter which is a collection of Number instances.

Return Value: This method returns an array containing the same values as collection, in the same order, converted to primitives.

Exceptions: This method throws NullPointerException if collection or any of its elements is null.

Below examples illustrate the Ints.toArray() method:

Example 1:

// Java code to show implementation of 
// Guava's Ints.toArray() method 
  
import com.google.common.primitives.Ints; 
import java.util.Arrays; 
import java.util.List; 
  
class GFG { 
  
    // Driver's code 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        // Creating a List of Integers 
        List<Integer> 
            myList = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); 
  
        // Using Ints.toArray() method to convert 
        // a List or Set of Integer to an array 
        // of Int 
        int[] arr = Ints.toArray(myList); 
  
        // Displaying an array containing each 
        // value of collection, 
        // converted to a int value 
        System.out.println("Array from given List: "
                           + Arrays.toString(arr)); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Array from given List: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Example 2: To demonstrate NullPointerException

// Java code to show implementation of 
// Guava's Ints.toArray() method 
  
import com.google.common.primitives.Ints; 
import java.util.Arrays; 
import java.util.List; 
  
class GFG { 
  
    // Driver's code 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        try { 
  
            // Creating a List of Integers 
            List<Integer> 
                myList = Arrays.asList(2, 4, null); 
  
            // Using Ints.toArray() method to convert 
            // a List or Set of Integer to an array 
            // of Int. This should raise "NullPointerException" 
            // as the collection contains "null" as an element 
            int[] arr = Ints.toArray(myList); 
  
            // Displaying an array containing each 
            // value of collection, converted to a int value 
            System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr)); 
        } 
        catch (Exception e) { 
            System.out.println("Exception: " + e); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Output:

Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
