Array PDF

Java arrays allow storing of fixed number of values of the same type. Arrays can be created in three ways - declaring array type and size, declaring and initializing with size, and declaring and initializing values inline. Arrays can hold primitive types like int and char, as well as object types like String. Arrays can be single dimensional or multi dimensional. Arrays provide optimized code by allowing easy retrieval of data using indexes. However, arrays are limited because their size cannot change once declared.

ARRAYS
 Java Array is an Object that holds a fixed number of values of a single data type.
 The length of Array is established when the Array is created.
 Array length is fixed, index starts from zero to n1.

CREATING OF ARRAYS
1st Method
Syntax
dataType arrayName []; //Creating Array
arrayName = new dataType[size]; //Define Size
arrayName[0]=value;//Assign value
arrayName[1]=value;
arrayName[2]=value;

Example
public static void main(String args[])
{
int a [];
a = new int[3];
a[0]=10;
a[1]=20;
a[2]=30;
System.out.println(a[0]);//10
System.out.println(a[1] + a[2]);//50
}

2nd Method
Syntax
dataType [] arrayName= new dataType[length]; //Declare Array with length
arrayName[index] = value; //Assign value

Example
public static void main(String args[])

{
int [] abc = new int [4];
abc[1] =10;
System.out.println(abc[1]); //10

3rd Method
Syntax
dataType [] arrayName = {value1, value2, value3} //Declare Array and Assign values

Example
public static void main(String args[])
{
int [] xyz = {10, 20, 30, 40};
System.out.println(xyz[2]);//30

}
DECLARING DIFFERENT TYPES OF ARRAYS
Example
public static void main(String[] args)
{
char [] abc = {'A', 'B', 'Z'}; //Array of Characters
int [] xyz = {10, 20, 30, 40}; //Array of Integers
String [] a = {"UFT", "Selenium", "RFT"}; //Array of Strings
boolean [] b ={true, false, false, true}; //Array of Boolean values
System.out.println(abc[1]);//B
System.out.println(xyz[3]);//40
System.out.println(a[1]);//Selenium
System.out.println(b[2]);//false
}

COPY VALUES FROM ONE TO ANOTHER


public static void main(String[] args)
{
int [] array1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
int array2 [] = array1;
System.out.println(array2[2]);//3
for (int i =0; i < array2.length; i++)

{
System.out.println(array2[i]);
}
}

TYPES OF ARRAYS
1. Single dimensional Array
2. Multi dimensional Array

Example
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int [] [] array2 = {{1, 3, 5, 7}, {2, 4, 6, 8}};//Multi dimensional Array
System.out.println(array2[0][0]);//1
System.out.println(array2[1][0]);//2
System.out.println(array2[1][2]);//6
}

ADVANTAGES:
 Using Arrays we can optimize the code, data can be retrieved easily.
 We can get required data using index position
DISADVANTAGES:
 We can store fixed number of Elements only.
 It doesn't change its size during execution.
