如何使用流将二维int数组转换为单个字符串？

Question

I'm trying to convert a two dimensional int array to a single int where there is a space in between each number and a line break after each single array using streams.

I've done this easily for single dimensional arrays with mapToObj, but this does not when the stream consists of arrays instead of ints.

int[] a = {1, 2, 3, 4};

String[] strArray = Arrays.stream(a).mapToObj(String::valueOf).toArray(String[]::new);

String joined = String.join(" ", strArray);

a would map to 1 2 3 4 here. What I want would be to have something like

int[][] a = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}};

map to

1 2 3
4 5 6 
7 8 9

How can I get something similar to joined , but with two dimensional arrays and still using streams?

You can use something like this :

 String output = Arrays.stream(a)
                .map(ints -> IntStream.of(ints).mapToObj(String::valueOf).collect(Collectors.joining(" ")))
                .collect(Collectors.joining("\n"));

The output will be :

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

First we map every integer array to a String which consists of integers separated by space and then we collect those Strings joining them with "\\n".
