• valueOf(char[] data) : Returns the string representation of the char array argument.
• valueOf(char[] data, int offset, int count) : Returns the string representation of a specific subarray of the char array argument.
• valueOf(double d) : Returns the string representation of the double argument.
• valueOf(float f) : Returns the string representation of the float argument.
• valueOf(int i) : Returns the string representation of the int argument.
• valueOf(long l) : Returns the string representation of the long argument.
• valueOf(Object obj) : Returns the string representation of the Object argument.

      double d = 102939939.939;
      boolean b = true;
      long l = 1232874;
      char[] arr = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f','g' };

      System.out.println("Return Value : " + String.valueOf(d) );
      System.out.println("Return Value : " + String.valueOf(b) );
      System.out.println("Return Value : " + String.valueOf(l) );
      System.out.println("Return Value : " + String.valueOf(arr) );
   }
}
