  //array list to array
  arl.toArray(num);
  for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
	  System.out.println("Array Value: " + num[i]);
  }
}

where am i going wrong i am getting this error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayStoreException

You have an arraylist of Objects, that happen to be Integers, which you try to use to create an array of Strings. You can't store Integers in an array of Strings.
Here's what the API doc says:

public class ArrayStoreException
extends RuntimeException

Thrown to indicate that an attempt has been made to store the wrong type of object into an array of objects. For example, the following code generates an ArrayStoreException:

Object x[] = new String[3];
x[0] = new Integer(0);

oops thankyou you fixed it :)
