Parameters
a |
Specify the array to be filled. |
fromIndex |
Specify the index of the first element (inclusive) to be filled with the specified value. |
toIndex |
Specify the index of the last element (exclusive) to be filled with the specified value. |

- Throws IllegalArgumentException, if fromIndex > toIndex.
- Throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, if fromIndex < 0 or toIndex > a.length.
Example:
In the example below, the java.util.Arrays.fill() method is used to fill a specified range of a given byte array with a specified byte value.
import java.util.*;
public class MyClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//creating a byte array
byte MyArr[] = {10, 2, -3, 35, 56};
//printing array
System.out.print("MyArr contains:");
for(byte i: MyArr)
System.out.print(" " + i);
//fill the specified range of the array
//with 5 byte value
Arrays.fill(MyArr, 1, 4, (byte)5);
//printing array
System.out.print("\nMyArr contains:");
for(byte i: MyArr)
System.out.print(" " + i);
}
}
The output of the above code will be:
MyArr contains: 10 2 -3 35 56 MyArr contains: 10 5 5 5 56
