Doubt in Arrays.asList()

[Ashok Pradhan]

In my program I have taken two arrays one is String[] array another is int[] array .When I convert these two arrays into List through Arrays.asList().
But list which is created from int[] has the size that is not equal to the array length,but the that is created from String[] has the same size as the length of the String[].Why the size of the list that is created from int[] array is one?

import java.util.*;
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int[] arr={1,2,34,5,3,2,5,76,4,23};
System.out.println("Length of the arr="+arr.length);
 
List list = Arrays.asList(arr);
 
System.out.println("Elements in the list ="+list.size());
 
System.out.println("***********************");
 
String[] str={"red","blue","green","white","orange"};
System.out.println("length of the array ="+str.length);
List li = Arrays.asList(str);
 
System.out.println("Elements in the list ="+li.size());
}
}

prints
Length of the arr=10
Elements in th list =1
***********************
length of the array =5
Elements in the list =5

The asList() method requires an array of objects. An array of ints is *not* an array of objects. However, since the method is written to take var-args, it takes an array of one object -- the int array. Hence, the list of size one.
