How to create char array of predefined size while input at runtime?

I need to store input1 input2 input3 in char array of given same size.

public static void evalCharArray(int size){

      System.out.println("please enter any three string not exceed than size"+size); 
         Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
         String input1=sc.nextLine();
         String input2=sc.nextLine();
         String input3=sc.nextLine();
        //what i need is-I want to store these input string in three separate charArray of same length(ie of int size)
  }

If i am using input1.toCharArray() input2.toCharArray() input3.toCharArray() these are giving me array of different size based on input.

Use Arrays.copyOf(T[], int).

 char[] input1=Arrays.copyOf(sc.nextLine().toCharArray(), size);

Copies the specified array, truncating or padding with nulls (if necessary) so the copy has the specified length.

You can use System.arraycopy() method.

You can use this sample code.

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String s = "work";
    char[] arr = new char[10];
    System.arraycopy(s.toCharArray(), 0, arr, 0, s.toCharArray().length );
    System.out.println(arr.length); // prints 10
    System.out.println(arr); // prints work
}
