What's the simplest way to print a Java array?

In Java, arrays don't override toString(), so if you try to print one directly, you get the className + '@' + the hex of the hashCode of the array, as defined by Object.toString():



int[] intArray = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

System.out.println(intArray); // prints something like '[I@3343c8b3'


But usually, we'd actually want something more like [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. What's the simplest way of doing that? Here are some example inputs and outputs:



// Array of primitives:
int[] intArray = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
//output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

// Array of object references:

String[] strArray = new String[] {"John", "Mary", "Bob"};
//output: [John, Mary, Bob]
