Complete Guide to Arrays and Strings in Java

PART 1: ARRAYS in Java

1. What is an Array?

- A container for storing multiple values of the same data type.

- Example: int[] arr = {10, 20, 30};

2. Declaration & Usage

- Declare, assign values, and access using index.

3. Looping Through Arrays

- Use for loop or enhanced for-each loop.

4. Common Problems

- Sum, max/min, even/odd count.

5. Searching

- Linear Search: O(n)

- Binary Search: O(log n), for sorted arrays.

6. Sorting

- Bubble, Selection, Insertion sort.

- Arrays.sort() for built-in sort.

7. Patterns and Advanced Problems

- Rotate array, remove duplicates, second largest, missing number.


8. 2D Arrays

- Matrix operations: transpose, diagonal sum, spiral order.

PART 2: STRINGS in Java

1. What is a String?

- Immutable sequence of characters. Use StringBuilder for modifications.

2. Common String Methods

- length(), toLowerCase(), charAt(), contains()

3. Useful Operations

- Reverse, palindrome check, vowel/consonant count, toggle case.

4. Advanced Modifications

- Compress string (aabbb -> a2b3), remove duplicates, remove digits.

5. Search and Frequency

- Anagram check, string rotation, frequency count, first non-repeating character.

6. Special Tasks

- Replace space with %20, CamelCase splitting, Pangram check.

Tips:

- Practice with dry runs.

- Start simple and increase difficulty.


- Use data structures like HashMap, Set.

- Practice daily on coding platforms.
