ARRAYS IN JAVA

An array is a collective name given to a group of similar


quantities.These similar quantities could be percentage
marks of 100 students, salaries of 300 employees or ages of 25
students. Thus an array is a collection of similar elements.
Properties of arrays

✓ The elements are denoted as [0],[1],[2]……..[9].


✓ The array index number always starts with 0.
✓ An array with n elements counts from [0] to [n-1].
✓ Each element of the array holds the same type of data.
Types of arrays -
✓Single Dimensional array
✓Double Dimensional array
Accessing the values of an array -
Single Dimensional array -
The format to read and modify the value of an element of an array
is
NameOfArray [index]
Suppose, we have an array named rollNumber with 5 elements and
each of those is of int type.
So, to store the value 34 as the second element of the array, we will
write the following statement-
rollNumber[1] = 34;
To store the value of the second element of the array in a variable a,
we could write –
a = rollNumber[1];
Double Dimensional Array-
Example –
a = marks[2][4];
ch = name[3][5];
Declaration of arrays -
1. Single dimensional array –
data type array name = new Data type [size of array];

int
float
char
double
String
For Example-
int house = new int[25];
char letter = new char[10];
float price = new float[15];
2. Double Dimensional arrays –
data type array name = new data type [rows][columns];

int
float
char
double
String
Double Dimensional Array-
Example –
int marks = new int [2][4];
char name = new char [3][5];
String house= new house [4][3];
Initialization of array –
Single dimensional array –
data type arrayName [ ] = {data values};
Example –
int num [ ] = {5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40};
char vowels [ ] = {‘a’,‘e’,‘i’,‘o’,‘u’};
Double dimensional array –
data type arrayName [ ][ ] = {data values};
int roll[ ][ ] = {{2,3,4},{4,6,8},{9,7,6}};
char board[ ][ ] = {{‘a’,‘b’,‘c’},{‘g’,‘h’,‘i’}};
