VSCode not outputting Arrays correctly

[glass egret]

Instead of an Array a = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} i get [I@ae05b256 as an output.

is this some known issue? cuz i couldn't find anything in the google results

[dark granite]

that's correct

this isn't an issue, that's how they're supposed to be outputted

if you need to see its contents, import java.util.Arrays and use its static toString or deepToString method, passing in the array

arrays are objects, their default toString shows the classname@hashcode
for arrays, the classname is [ followed by something representing their contents; I means int, so [I means an int[]

i'm sorry but how do i properly print it? i import the util and what do i need to write in the sysout?

[dark granite]

...println(Arrays.toString(yourArrayName));

also about google results; you're probably not using google correctly.
