    Default Re: hello.,i would like to create a method that accepts ...

    public static String [] convertStrToInt (String [] , String [] )
    {
    .....
    .....
    .....
    return ???
    }

    A few things. First, the variables in your parameters need to be named:
    public static String [] convertStrToInt (String[] arr1 , String[] arr2 )
    {
    .....
    .....
    .....
    return ???
    }

    Second, based on your declaration, you need to return a String[]:
    public static String [] convertStrToInt (String[] arr1 , String[] arr2 )
    {
    .....
    .....
    .....
    //this is a basic return for a non-existent String[]
    return new String[0];
    }

    You need to declare the size of the string array, or you need to use an "in place" initializer

    return new String[0]; // array of size 0
    return new String[] {}; // array initialized to contain nothing
