I have a class that uses a generic, for which I've specified Character here. It has a method which takes a T[], for which I'm trying to pass in a String.toCharArray(). How would I do this?

you wouldn't cast. they aren't compatible

#

is there another way I could pass my char[] in?

gaunt sequoia
#

you could transform between them but i guess you'd probably need to loop to cast each individual Character to char since there's no specialization of CharStream

#

but this seems a bit like https://xyproblem.info to me, could you give some more context? why do you need to go from a generic to a specific primitive?

im trying to pass a string in with toCharArray

#

so I need to cast a char[] to Character[]

#

not Character[] to char[]

gaunt sequoia
#

ohhhh i misread that heavily

#

mb hold on

#

yeah that makes a lot more sense
you still have to loop to transform though

#

there is ArrayUtils but it's not standard
