Java - Replace Array Elements


How to change/replace an Item in an Array?


Let us say, we have a Array that contains three names, Mohan, John, Paul, Kriti and Salim.


And we want to replace the name John with a new name Neal.


Example :



public class MyApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    
        String[] arr = {"Mohan", "John", "Paul", "Kriti", "Salim"};

        System.out.println("\nBefore replacing the second element\n");
    
    	for (String str : arr) {
            System.out.println(str);
        }
        
        arr[1] = "Neal";
    
        System.out.println("\nAfter replacing the second element\n");
    
    	for (String str : arr) {
            System.out.println(str);
        }
    }    
}


Output :



  Before replacing the second element

  Mohan
  John
  Paul
  Kriti
  Salim

  After replacing the second element

  Mohan
  Neal
  Paul
  Kriti
  Salim

So, in the above code we have created a Array and initialised to the variable x.


String[] arr = {"Mohan", "John", "Paul", "Kriti", "Salim"};

Now, let us see, how the values are positioned in the Array

Spring_Boot

Now, if we see the above diagram, John resides at position/index 1. So, what we do is, just replace the position/index 1 (i.e. arr[1]) with the new name Neal.


arr[1] = "Neal";
Spring_Boot


And the name John gets replaced with Neal.


And we get the below output,

Output :



  Mohan
  Neal
  Paul
  Kriti
  Salim
