# Java ArrayList toString() Method
[ Java ArrayList](#)
The toString() method converts an ArrayList object to a string.
The syntax for the toString() method is:
arraylist.toString()
**Note:** arraylist is an object of the ArrayList class.
**Parameter Description:**
* None
### Return Value
Returns the string representation of the arraylist.
### Example
Convert an ArrayList to a String type:
## Example
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Comparator;
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args){
// Create a dynamic array
ArrayList sites =new ArrayList();
sites.add("");
sites.add("Google");
sites.add("Wiki");
sites.add("Taobao");
System.out.println("Website List: "+ sites);
// Convert ArrayList to String type
String list = sites.toString();
System.out.println("String: "+ list);
}
}
The output of the above program is:
Website List: [, Google, Wiki, Taobao]String: [, Google, Wiki, Taobao]
In the example above, we created an array named sites.
Note this line:
String list = sites.toString();
We use the toString() method to convert the arraylist to a string, which converts the entire arraylist into a String type.
Note: The ArrayList class does not have its own toString() method; it overrides the toString() method of the Object class.
