Array and string

Question

I have an array of type char and a string that I will be introducing from the keyboard. Can anyone tell me how can I introduce each character of the string in the char array?

@Bobby : but this is not gud for every silly question making others alram. Its very very basic qestion, i can understand he is not familiar,we should not make them lazy just providing the answer from us with such questions. I feel ,there should be some self digging nature to the people. Not to depend on others. — developer

@Damodar it is not a silly question. It is a beginner's question. If you feel this question is too easy for you - and the title suggests it IS a basic question - then move on to any of thousands of more difficult questions. — Steve McLeod

@Damodar: That's an ongoing dispute and discussion. Too simple question, General Reference close reason, Are some questions too simple?. May I also quote from the downvote-tooltip: This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful. — Bobby

@Steve McLeod : My intention was not make people lazy by providing answers for simple questions, they should incorporate some self digging/learning habit, because, if we google such questions, there will be 100s of answers available from different sites.Also people will learn more on self learning. — developer

You don't need to create an array in advance. Here is the code

String s; //this is your string which you enter from keyboard

char[] c=s.toCharArray();

string.toCharArray() will convert a String to a char array.

Alternatively, iterate over the string's characters and store them into your array:

char[] myArray = ...
int index = ... 
for(int i = 0 ; i < string.length() ; i++) {
    char c = string.charAt(i);
    myArray[index] = c;
    index++;
}
