1 Object-Oriented Programming Using Java

 Arrays class in Java

• Arrays class in <<java.util>> package is defined as

follows
• This class contains the required methods for
manipulating arrays such as sorting and searching
• All methods are <<static>> and hence can be called via
class name.
• Arrays class is part of Java’s Collection Framework

8 Object-Oriented Programming Using Java

 Arrays class: Example
Import java.util package to use
import java.util.*;
Arrays class
class ArrayExample
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int x[] = {10,6,8,20}; int array Size = 4 LB=0 UB =3

double data[] = { 12.5,34.6,90.56,12.34,12.56};

double array Size = 5 LB=0 UB =4
float values[] = { 10.45f,23.56f,12.67f};
float arrays Size = 3 LB=0 UB =2
double data1[] = new double[10];
double array Size = 10 LB=0
boolean flags[] = new boolean[5]; UB =9
boolean array Size = 5 LB=0 UB =4
int x1[] = {10,6,8,20}; int array Size = 4 LB=0 UB =3
9 Object-Oriented Programming Using Java
 Arrays class: Example ….
System.out.println(Arrays.binarySearch(x,20));

Arrays.sort(x); Prints index of 20 in x 3

Sorts elements of x
for(int i=0;i<x.length;i++)
System.out.print(x[i]+" "); Prints Elements of x
System.out.println(); 6 8 10 20
Arrays.fill(data1,12.56); Fills a single value
12.56 in all indexes of
for(int i=0;i<data1.length;i++) data1
System.out.print(data1[i]+" "); Prints Elements of
System.out.println(); data1

12.56 12.56 12.56 12.56 12.56 12.56 12.56 12.56 12.56 12.56

10 Object-Oriented Programming Using Java

 Arrays class: Example ….
Fills true value in boolean array
Arrays.fill(flags,2,5,true); flags from index 2 to 4
//Arrays.fill(flags,2,6,true);
for(int i=0;i<flags.length;i++) ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException
System.out.print(flags[i]+" ");
System.out.println();
false false true true true
System.out.println(Arrays.equals(x,x1)); Prints true or false whether x
and x1 equals
Arrays.sort(values);
Sorts the elements of arrays
for(int i=0;i<values.length;i++)
System.out.print(values[i]+" ");
System.out.println(); 10.45 12.67 23.56
}
} // End of class

11 Object-Oriented Programming Using Java

 Array : Examples
int a[] = { 10,8,6}; 10
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++) 8
System.out.println(a[i]); 6

']' expected
int a[3] = { 10,8,6};
int a[3] = { 10,8,6};
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)
^
System.out.println(a[i]);
1 error
//int table[][]={0,0,0,1,1,1};
//int table[2][3]={0,0,0,1,1,1}; WRONG
int table[ ][ ]={{0,0,0},{1,1,1}};
for(int i=0; i<table.length;i++) 000
{ 111
for(int j=0;j<table[i].length;j++)
{
System.out.print(table[i][j]);}
System.out.println();
}
