Java Arrays - fill(byte[], byte) Method
Description
The Java Arrays fill(byte[] a, byte val) method assigns the specified byte value to each element of the specified array of bytes.
Declaration
Following is the declaration for java.util.Arrays.fill(byte[] a, byte val) method
public static void fill(byte[] a, byte val)
Parameters
a − This is the array to be filled.
val − This is the value to be stored in all elements of the array.
Return Value
This method does not return any value.
Exception
NA
Java Arrays fill(byte[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex, byte val) Method
Description
The Java Arrays fill(byte[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex, byte val) method assigns the specified byte value to each element of the specified range of the specified array of bytes.The range to be filled extends from index fromIndex, inclusive, to index toIndex, exclusive. (If fromIndex==toIndex, the range to be filled is empty.)
Declaration
Following is the declaration for java.util.Arrays.fill(byte[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex, byte val) method
public static void fill(byte[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex, byte val)
Parameters
a − This is the array to be filled.
fromIndex − This is the index of the first element (inclusive) to be filled with the specified value.
toIndex − This is the index of the last element (exclusive) to be filled with the specified value.
val − This is the value to be stored in all elements of the array.
Return Value
This method does not return any value.
Exception
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException − if fromIndex < 0 or toIndex > a.length
IllegalArgumentException − if fromIndex > toIndex
Example 1
The following example shows the usage of Java Arrays fill(byte[], byte) method. First, we've created an array of bytes and its elements are printed. Using fill(byte[], byte) method, we're filling the array with a give value and then updated array elements are printed again.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Arrays; public class ArrayDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // initializing byte array byte arr[] = new byte[] { 10 , 20, 15}; // let us print the values System.out.println("Actual values: "); for (byte value : arr) { System.out.println("Value = " + value); } byte replacement = 0; // using fill for placing value Arrays.fill(arr, replacement); // let us print the values System.out.println("New values after using fill() method: "); for (byte value : arr) { System.out.println("Value = " + value); } } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Actual values: Value = 10 Value = 20 Value = 15 New values after using fill() method: Value = 0 Value = 0 Value = 0
Example 2
The following example shows the usage of Java Arrays fill(byte[], int, int, byte) method. First, we've created an array of bytes and its elements are printed. Using fill(byte[], int, int, byte) method method, we're filling the array with a give value and then updated array elements are printed again.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Arrays; public class ArrayDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // initializing byte array byte arr[] = new byte[] { 10 , 20, 15}; // let us print the values System.out.println("Actual values: "); for (byte value : arr) { System.out.println("Value = " + value); } byte replacement = 0; // using fill for placing value from index 0 to 3 Arrays.fill(arr, 0, 3, replacement); // let us print the values System.out.println("New values after using fill() method: "); for (byte value : arr) { System.out.println("Value = " + value); } } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Actual values: Value = 10 Value = 20 Value = 15 New values after using fill() method: Value = 0 Value = 0 Value = 0
Example 3
The following example shows the usage of Java Arrays fill(byte[], int, int, byte) method. First, we've created an array of bytes and its elements are printed. Using fill(byte[], int, int, byte) method method, we're filling the subarray of array with a give value and then updated array elements are printed again.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Arrays; public class ArrayDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // initializing byte array byte arr[] = new byte[] { 10 , 20, 15}; // let us print the values System.out.println("Actual values: "); for (byte value : arr) { System.out.println("Value = " + value); } byte replacement = 0; // using fill for placing value from index 0 to 2 Arrays.fill(arr, 0, 2, replacement); // let us print the values System.out.println("New values after using fill() method: "); for (byte value : arr) { System.out.println("Value = " + value); } } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Actual values: Value = 10 Value = 20 Value = 15 New values after using fill() method: Value = 0 Value = 0 Value = 15
