Why this code make this output? ( It ouputs [I@xxxxxxxx ) without any errors

Code: public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { int[] map = {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}; System.out.println(map); } } I am using another compiler, not sololearn's playground

You are printing the memory address of the array and it will give you the same result everytime you run it. You can use the Arrays class and call the toString method and pass your array (map) as parameter: System.out.println( Arrays.toString(map) ); You can also use an for-each loop if you want: for(int elemens: map) System.out.println(elemens);

I think it outputs the adress of the map? Well map is defined as int[] means map points to the computer adress of the first 1 Try to print map[0] to accesss first element More to arrays in Java: https://www.sololearn.com/learn/Java/2148/

Try this: System.out.println(map.toString); At the last! And I hope you know that you have made a uni dimensional array
