# Java getBytes() Method [Java String Class](#) * * * The `getBytes()` method has two forms: * **`getBytes(String charsetName)`:** Encodes the string into a sequence of bytes using the specified character set and stores the result into a new byte array. * **`getBytes()`:** Encodes the string into a sequence of bytes using the platform's default character set and stores the result into a new byte array. ### Syntax public byte[] getBytes(String charsetName) throws UnsupportedEncodingException or public byte[] getBytes() ### Parameters * **charsetName** -- The name of a supported character set. ### Return Value Returns a byte array. ## Example import java.io.*; public class Test{public static void main(String args[]){String Str1 = new String("tutorial"); try{byte[]Str2 = Str1.getBytes(); System.out.println("Return value：" + Str2); Str2 = Str1.getBytes("UTF-8"); System.out.println("Return value：" + Str2); Str2 = Str1.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"); System.out.println("Return value：" + Str2); }catch(UnsupportedEncodingException e){System.out.println("Unsupported character set"); }}} The output of the above program is as follows: Return value：[B@7852e922 Return value：[B@4e25154f Return value：[B@70dea4e * * Java String Class](#)
