Array setBoolean() Method in Java with Examples

The java.lang.reflect.Array.setBoolean() method is an inbuilt method used to set a specified Boolean value to a specified index of a given object array.

Syntax:

Array.setBoolean(Object []array, int index, boolean value)

Parameter: This method takes three parameters:

array: array of type Object which is to be updated.
index: index of the array which is to be updated.
value: boolean value that is to be set at the given index of the given array.

Return type: This is a void type method and doesn’t returns any value. The update reflects upon the Object array passed as the argument.

Exception: This method throws following exceptions:

NullPointerException– when the array is null.
IllegalArgumentException– when the given object array is not an Array.
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException– if the given index is not in the range of the size of the array.

Below is the implementation of Array.setBoolean() method:

Program 1:

// Java code to demonstrate setBoolean() 
// method of Array class 
  
import java.lang.reflect.Array; 
public class GfG { 
    // main method 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        // Declaring and defining boolean array 
        boolean b[] = { true, false, true }; 
  
        // array before using setBoolean() 
        System.out.print("Before Set : "); 
  
        // printing the array 
        for (boolean x : b) { 
            System.out.print(x + " "); 
        } 
  
        // boolean value to be set 
        boolean value = true; 
  
        // setBoolean method of class Array 
        Array.setBoolean(b, 1, value); 
  
        // array after using setBoolean() 
        System.out.print("\nAfter Set : "); 
  
        // printing array 
        for (boolean x : b) { 
            System.out.print(x + " "); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Output:

Before Set : true false true 
After Set : true true true

Program 2: To demonstrate java.lang.NullPointerException

// Java code to demonstrate setBoolean() 
// method of Array class 
  
import java.lang.reflect.Array; 
public class GfG { 
    // main method 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        // Declaring and defining boolean array to null 
        boolean b[] = null; 
  
        try { 
            // boolean value to be set 
            boolean c = false; 
  
            // passing a null array as parameter 
            Array.setBoolean(b, 5, c); 
        } 
        catch (Exception e) { 
            System.out.println("Exception : " + e); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Output:

Exception : java.lang.NullPointerException

Program 3: To demonstrate java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

// Java code to demonstrate setBoolean() 
// method of Array class 
  
import java.lang.reflect.Array; 
public class GfG { 
    // main method 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        // Declaring and defining boolean array 
        boolean b[] = { true, false, true }; 
  
        try { 
            // value to be set 
            boolean c = false; 
  
            // passing index as 5 when size is 3 
            Array.setBoolean(b, 5, c); 
        } 
        catch (Exception e) { 
            System.out.println("Exception : " + e); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Output:

Exception : java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Program 4: To demonstrate java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

// Java code to demonstrate setBoolean() 
// method of Array class 
  
import java.lang.reflect.Array; 
public class GfG { 
    // main method 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        // Declaring and defining boolean variable 
        boolean b = true; 
  
        try { 
            // value to be set 
            boolean c = false; 
  
            // passing variable in the place of an array 
            Array.setBoolean(b, 5, c); 
        } 
        catch (Exception e) { 
            System.out.println("Exception : " + e); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Output:

Exception : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument is not an array
