Java Guava | Floats.toArray() method with Examples

The toArray() method of Floats Class in the Guava library is used to convert the float values, passed as the parameter to this method, into a Float Array. These float values are passed as a Collection to this method. This method returns a Float array.

Syntax:

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

Parameters: This method accepts a mandatory parameter collection which is the collection of float values to be converted in to a Float array.

Return Value: This method returns a float array containing the same values as a collection, in the same order.

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

Below programs illustrate the use of toArray() method:

Example 1 :

// Java code to show implementation of 
// Guava's Floats.toArray() method 

import com.google.common.primitives.Floats; 

import java.util.Arrays; 

import java.util.List; 

class GFG { 

    // Driver's code 

    public static void main(String[] args) 

    { 

        // Creating a List of Floats 

        List<Float> myList 

            = Arrays.asList(1.2f, 2.3f, 3.4f, 4.5f, 5.6f); 

        // Using Floats.toArray() method to convert 

        // a List or Set of Float to an array of Float 

        float[] arr = Floats.toArray(myList); 

        // Displaying an array containing each 

        // value of collection, 

        // converted to a float value 

        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr)); 

    } 
}

Output:

[1.2, 2.3, 3.4, 4.5, 5.6]

Example 2 :

// Java code to show implementation of 
// Guava's Floats.toArray() method 

import com.google.common.primitives.Floats; 

import java.util.Arrays; 

import java.util.List; 

class GFG { 

    // Driver's code 

    public static void main(String[] args) 

    { 

        try { 

            // Creating a List of Floats 

            List<Float> myList 

                = Arrays.asList(1.2f, 2.3f, 3.4f, null); 

            // Using Floats.toArray() method 

            // to convert a List or Set of Float 

            // to an array of Float. 

            // This should raise "NullPointerException" 

            // as the collection contains "null" 

            // as an element 

            float[] arr = Floats.toArray(myList); 

            // Displaying an array containing each 

            // value of collection, 

            // converted to a float value 

            System.out.println(Arrays 

                                   .toString(arr)); 

        } 

        catch (Exception e) { 

            System.out.println(e); 

        } 

    }
