Better way to generate array of all letters in the alphabet

Question

Right now I\'m doing

for (char c = \'a\'; c <= \'z\'; c++) {
    alphabet[c - \'a\'] = c;
}

but is there a better way to do it? Similar

Answer 1

Using Java 8 streams

  char [] alphabets = Stream.iterate('a' , x -> (char)(x + 1))
            .limit(26)
            .map(c -> c.toString())
            .reduce("", (u , v) -> u + v).toCharArray();
