 Java language provides some facilities to manipulate data in the form of
groups or sets.
 One way of achieving this is by using a data structure known as an Array.
 An Array is a collection of related data items of the same type that share a
collective name.
 Each data item of an array is called an element and elements are accessed
individually by using an index or subscripted variable.
 An array can be a single dimensional or multi-dimensional and single
dimensional array needs one subscript whereas multi-dimensional arrays
need more than one subscript.
 An array subscript starts with 0.

Index (or Subscript) of the element in array C

Name of the array: C

 Array objects occupy space in memory. Like other objects, arrays are created with
keyword new.
 To create an array object, you specify the type of the array elements and the
number of elements as part of an array-creation expression that uses keyword new.

 The declaration and initialization can also be done as shown below

 To refer to the elements, we use an index that ranges from zero (the first element
in the array) to one less than the total number of elements.
 If you specify an index that is less than zero or greater than the upper bound of the
array, an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException will be thrown.

 You can instantiate an array and provide initial values with an array initializer—a
comma-separated list of expressions (called an initializer list) enclosed in braces.
 The number of values determines the size of the array.

 An array can store more than one primitive type or object.

 An element is one of the items in an array.

 To create an array, you must declare a variable of the correct type and instantiate an
array object that the variable refers to.
 To declare an array variable, you code a set of empty brackets after the type or the
variable name.
 To instantiate an array, you use the new keyword and specify the length, or size, of the
array in brackets following the array type.
 You can specify the array length by coding a literal value or by using a constant or
variable of type int.
 When you instantiate an array of primitive types, numeric types are set to zeros and
boolean types to false.
 When you create an array of objects, they are set to nulls.

 CREATE AN ARRAY OF INT DATA TYPE THAT HOLDS THE LIST OF 10 EVEN
NUMBERS.

 PRINT ALL THE ARRAY ELEMENTS.

Department of MIT / SEUSL 11


 MODIFY THE PROGRAM IN EXERCISE 01 TO PERFORM THE FOLLOWING:

 FIND THE SUM OF ALL NUMBERS AND PRINT THE TOTAL.

 FIND THE LARGEST NUMBER OUT OF ALL AND PRINT IT.

Department of MIT / SEUSL 12


 WRITE A JAVA PROGRAM TO INITIALIZE THE MARKS FOR A SUBJECT IN AN ARRAY.
CALCULATE AND PRINT THE TOTAL AND THE AVERAGE.

HINTS:
 ASK THE USER TO ENTER THE ARRAY SIZE.
 BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE ARRAY, CREATE A DOUBLE TYPE ARRAY.
 ASSIGN VALUES FOR THE ARRAY USING A FOR LOOP; USE THE LOOP’S COUNTER VALUE
FOR THE ARRAY.
 DISPLAY THE TOTAL AND AVERAGE OF THE VALUES ON THE SCREEN.
