how to take user input in Array using java?

Here's a simple code that reads strings from stdin, adds them into List<String>, and then uses toArray to convert it to String[] (if you really need to work with arrays).

import java.util.*;

public class UserInput {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
        Scanner stdin = new Scanner(System.in);

        do {
            System.out.println("Current list is " + list);
            System.out.println("Add more? (y/n)");
            if (stdin.next().startsWith("y")) {
                System.out.println("Enter : ");
                list.add(stdin.next());
            } else {
                break;
            }
        } while (true);
        stdin.close();
        System.out.println("List is " + list);
        String[] arr = list.toArray(new String[0]);
        System.out.println("Array is " + Arrays.toString(arr));
    }
}

    //this method prints the elements in an array......
    //if this case is true, then that's enough to prove to you that the user input has  //been stored in an array!!!!!!!

        int n = arr.length;

        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            System.out.print(arr[i] + " ");
        }
