Can someone look at my code? need help. Trying to define an array without loops

Question

/* The output is a weird number- [I@33909752 , how do i fix this and display the array the user defined by input?**/

package javaapplication111;

import java.util.Scanner;
public class JavaApplication111 {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Please enter how many elements are in the Array");
Scanner reply1= new Scanner(System.in);
int numbers[]= new int[reply1.nextInt()]; // defining the capacity of the array

System.out.println("Enter the first element");
Scanner E0= new Scanner(System.in);
numbers[0]=E0.nextInt(); // defining the first element in the array

System.out.println("Enter the second element");
Scanner E1= new Scanner(System.in);
numbers[1]=E1.nextInt(); // defining the second element in the array

System.out.println("Enter the thrid element");
Scanner E2= new Scanner(System.in); //Defining the third element in the array
numbers[2]=E2.nextInt();

System.out.println("Enter the fourth element");
Scanner E3= new Scanner(System.in); //Defining the fourth element in the array
numbers[3]=E3.nextInt();

System.out.println("Enter the fifth element");
Scanner E4= new Scanner(System.in);
numbers[4]=E4.nextInt(); //Defining the fifth element in the array

System.out.println(numbers); /* Wanting to print the array using the elements that were defined above**/

}
}

Answer 1

Add
import java.util.Arrays;
under the import of the Scanner class and change
System.out.println(numbers);
to
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(numbers));

Answer 2

What you get is the array's hash code. You wanna import java.util.Arrays and use the Arrays.toString (numbers) method.

Answer 3

How do you do that? could you give me an example please

Answer 4

Thank you! i appreciate the help.

Answer 5

Apart from that there are some more improvements you can do:
1. You do not need to create a new Scanner for each input. Just call the nextInt() method on the first one again.
2. After you finished using a Scanner, you should call the close() method.
3. You should use loops for filling an array. You'll get errors if the user inputs a capacity lower than 5. And you'll have many empty entries if it's higher than 5.

Answer 6

i realized that before programming the actual code lol. I know it will much more efficient with a loop as well.I declared the capacity as 5 instead of asking for user input to determine the capacity. That way, the user will have to enter 5 elements. Also i made the code to run for a specific question, the question has 5 elements, so the user input will not be higher or lesser than 5 elements anyway but yeah i was just trying something new to gain a better understanding. Thanks for the advice.
