Arrays…
Arrays
• An array is an ordered list of values

The entire array Each value has a numeric index

has a single name

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

scores 79 87 94 82 67 98 87 81 74 91

An array of size N is indexed from zero to N-1

This array holds 10 values that are indexed from 0 to 9

7-2
Arrays
• A particular value in an array is referenced using
the array name followed by the index in brackets

• For example, the expression

scores[2]

refers to the value 94 (the 3rd value in the array)

• That expression represents a place to store a

single integer and can be used wherever an
integer variable can be used

7-3
Arrays
• For example, an array element can be assigned a
value, printed, or used in a calculation:
scores[2] = 89;

scores[first] = scores[first] + 2;

mean = (scores[0] + scores[1])/2;

System.out.println ("Top = " + scores[5]);

7-4
Arrays
• The values held in an array are called array
elements

• An array stores multiple values of the same type –

the element type

• The element type can be a primitive type or an

object reference

• Therefore, we can create an array of integers, an

array of characters, an array of String objects, an
array of Coin objects, etc.

• In Java, the array itself is an object that must be

instantiated
7-5
Arrays
• Another way to depict the scores array:

scores 79
87
94
82
67
98
87
81
74
91

7-6
Declaring Arrays
• The scores array could be declared as follows:

int[] scores = new int[10];

• The type of the variable scores is int[] (an array

of integers)

• Note that the array type does not specify its size,
but each object of that type has a specific size

• The reference variable scores is set to a new array

object that can hold 10 integers

• An array is an object, therefore all the values are

initialized to default ones (here 0)
7-7
Declaring Arrays
• Some other examples of array declarations:

float[] prices = new float[500];

boolean[] flags;
flags = new boolean[20];

char[] codes = new char[1750];

7-8
Using Arrays
• The iterator version of the for loop can be used
when processing array elements

for (int score : scores)

System.out.println (score);

• This is only appropriate when processing all array

elements from top (lowest index) to bottom
(highest index)

• See BasicArray.java (page 372)

7-9
final int LIMIT = 15, MULTIPLE = 10;

int[] list = new int[LIMIT];

// Initialize the array values

for (int index = 0; index < LIMIT; index++)
list[index] = index * MULTIPLE;

list[5] = 999; // change one array value

// Print the array values

for (int value : list)
System.out.print (value + " ");

7-10
Bounds Checking
• Once an array is created, it has a fixed size

• An index used in an array reference must specify a

valid element

• That is, the index value must be in range 0 to N-1

• The Java interpreter throws an

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if an array
index is out of bounds

• This is called automatic bounds checking

7-11
Bounds Checking
• For example, if the array codes can hold 100
values, it can be indexed using only the numbers 0
to 99

• If the value of count is 100, then the following

reference will cause an exception to be thrown:

System.out.println (codes[count]);

• It’s common to introduce off-by-one errors when

using arrays problem

for (int index=0; index <= 100; index++)

codes[index] = index*50 + epsilon;

7-12
Bounds Checking
• Each array object has a public constant called
length that stores the size of the array

• It is referenced using the array name:

scores.length

• Note that length holds the number of elements,

not the largest index

• See ReverseOrder.java

• See LetterCount.java

7-13
ReverseOrder
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);

double[] numbers = new double[10];

System.out.println ("The size of the array: " +

numbers.length);

for (int index = 0; index < numbers.length; index++) {

System.out.print ("Enter number " + (index+1) + ": ");
numbers[index] = scan.nextDouble();
}

System.out.println ("The numbers in reverse order:");

for (int index = numbers.length-1; index >= 0; index--)

System.out.print (numbers[index] + " ");

7-14
Char type
String st = "abcd";
for(int i =0; i < st.length (); i++ ) {
char c = st.charAt (i);
System.out.print(c);
System.out.print(" ");
System.out.print((int) c);
System.out.print(" ");
System.out.println(c - 'a');
}

a 97 0
b 98 1
c 99 2
7-15
Char Type
for(int i =40; i < 130; i++) {
System.out.print(i + ":\'" + (char) i + "\'\t");
if ((i+1) % 10 == 0)
System.out.println();
}

40:'(' 41:')' 42:'*' 43:'+' 44:',' 45:'-' 46:'.' 47:'/' 48:'0' 49:'1'
50:'2' 51:'3' 52:'4' 53:'5' 54:'6' 55:'7' 56:'8' 57:'9' 58:':' 59:';'
60:'<' 61:'=' 62:'>' 63:'?' 64:'@' 65:'A' 66:'B' 67:'C' 68:'D' 69:'E'

Letter Count
final int NUMCHARS = 26;

Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);

int[] upper = new int[NUMCHARS];

int[] lower = new int[NUMCHARS];

char current; // the current character being processed

int other = 0; // counter for non-alphabetics

System.out.println ("Enter a sentence:");

String line = scan.nextLine();

7-17
Letter Count
// Count the number of each letter occurence
for (int ch = 0; ch < line.length(); ch++)
{
current = line.charAt(ch);
if (current >= 'A' && current <= 'Z')
upper[current-'A']++;
else
if (current >= 'a' && current <= 'z')
lower[current-'a']++;
else
other++;
}

7-18
Letter Count
// Print the results
System.out.println ();
for (int letter=0; letter < upper.length; letter++)
{
System.out.print ( (char) (letter + 'A') );
System.out.print (": " + upper[letter]);
System.out.print ("\t\t" + (char) (letter + 'a') );
System.out.println (": " + lower[letter]);
}

System.out.println ();
System.out.println ("Non-alphabetic characters: " + other);

7-19
Alternate Array Syntax
• The brackets of the array type can be associated
with the element type or with the name of the array

• Therefore the following two declarations are

equivalent:

float[] prices;
float prices[];

• The first format generally is more readable and

should be used

7-20
Initializer Lists
• An initializer list can be used to instantiate and fill
an array in one step

• The values are delimited by braces and separated

by commas

• Examples:

int[] units = {147, 323, 89, 933, 540,

269, 97, 114, 298, 476};

char[] letterGrades = {'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', ’F'};

7-21
Initializer Lists
• Note that when an initializer list is used:
 the new operator is not used

 no size value is specified

• The size of the array is determined by the number

of items in the initializer list

• An initializer list can be used only in the array

declaration

• See Primes.java (page 381)

7-22
Primes
int[] primeNums = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19};

System.out.println ("Array length: " + primeNums.length);

System.out.println ("The first few prime numbers are:");

for (int prime : primeNums)

System.out.print (prime + " ");

7-23
Arrays as Parameters
• An entire array can be passed as a parameter to a
method

• Like any other object, the reference to the array is

passed, making the formal and actual parameters
aliases of each other

• Therefore, changing an array element within the

method changes the original

• An individual array element can be passed to a

method as well, in which case the type of the
formal parameter is the same as the element type

7-24
Arrays as Parameters
public static void doubleValues(int[] x) {
for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
x[i] *= 2;
}
}

int[] x = {1, 3, 5};

doubleValues(x);
for(int val:x)
System.out.print(val + " ");

7-25
Arrays of Objects
• Consider:

class String3 {
String value0, value1, value2;
}

String3 sts3 = new String3();

System.out.println(sts3.value0); // outputs null
sts3.value0 = new String("abc");

7-26
Arrays of Objects
• The elements of an array can be object references

• The following declaration reserves space to store

3 references to String objects

String[] words = new String[3];

• It does NOT create the String objects themselves

• Initially an array of objects holds null references

• Each object stored in an array must be

instantiated separately

7-27
• Previous Code using string array:

String[] sts3 = new String[3];

System.out.println(sts3[0]);
sts3[0] = new String("abc");

7-28
Arrays of Objects
• The words array when initially declared:

words -
-
-

• At this point, the following reference would throw

a NullPointerException:

System.out.println (words[0].length());

7-29
Arrays of Objects
• After some String objects are created and stored
in the array:

words “friendship
”“loyalty”

“honor”

7-30
Arrays of Objects
• Keep in mind that String objects can be created
using literals

• The following declaration creates an array object

called verbs and fills it with four String objects
created using string literals

String[] verbs = {"play", "work", "eat", "sleep"};

7-31
Array of Objects
• The following example creates an array of Grade
objects, each with a string representation and a
numeric lower bound

• See GradeRange.java (page 384)

• See Grade.java (page 385)

7-32
Grade
public class Grade {
private String name;
private int lowerBound;

//-----------------------------------------------------------------
// Constructor: Sets up this Grade object with the specified
// grade name and numeric lower bound.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------
public Grade (String grade, int cutoff) {
name = grade;
lowerBound = cutoff;
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------
// Returns a string representation of this grade.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------
public String toString() {
return name + "\t" + lowerBound;
}
}

7-33
Grade[] grades =
{
new Grade("A", 95), new Grade("A-", 90),
new Grade("B+", 87), new Grade("B", 85), new Grade("B-", 80),
new Grade("C+", 77), new Grade("C", 75), new Grade("C-", 70),
new Grade("D+", 67), new Grade("D", 65), new Grade("D-", 60),
new Grade("F", 0)
};

for (Grade letterGrade : grades)

System.out.println (letterGrade);

7-34
CD Collection
• Let’s write methods that will help us maintain
information about music CD’s.
• Specifically, we want to keep track of the title, the
artist name, and price of each CD.
• Let’s keep these information in three different
arrays, titles, artists, and prices.
• The idea is the same location i is used for storing
the information of CD number i in three different
arrays.
• Write methods for adding a new CD, deleting one
given its title, and displaying information given its
title.

7-35
Example Use
String[] ts = new String[100];
String[] as = new String[100];
double[] prices = new double[100];
int count = 0;
CDCollection.addCD("title1", "artist1", 1,count, ts, as, prices);
count++;
CDCollection.addCD("title2", "artist2", 2,count, ts, as, prices);
count++;
CDCollection.addCD("title3", "artist3", 3,count, ts, as, prices);
count++;

CDCollection.printCD("title3", count, ts, as, prices);

CDCollection.deleteCD("title2", count, ts, as, prices);

count--;

CDCollection.printCD("title2", count, ts, as, prices);

7-36
public class CDCollection {

public static void addCD(String title, String artist, double price,

int count, String[] titles, String[] artists, double[] prices) {
titles[count] = title;
artists[count] = artist;
prices[count] = price;
}

public static boolean deleteCD(String title,int count,

String[] titles, String[] artists, double[] prices) {

int loc = findCD(title, count, titles);

if (loc == -1)
return false;
for(int i = loc + 1; i < count; i++) {
titles[i-1] = titles[i];
artists[i-1] = artists[i];
prices[i-1] = prices[i];
}
return true;
}
7-37
 public static void printCD(String title,int count,
String[] titles, String[] artists, double[] prices) {

int loc = findCD(title, count, titles);

if (loc == -1)
System.out.println("CD not found");
else
System.out.println("\n" + titles[loc] + " " +
artists[loc] + " " + prices[loc]);
}

private static int findCD(String title,int count,String[] titles) {

for(int i = 0; i < count; i++)

if (titles[i].equals(title))
return i;

return -1;
}

7-38
Notes
• We can change the contents of the array, but not
the primitive type int for count.
• It is not convenient for the user to maintain the
count variable himself.
• One solution is to put the count into an int array
• This way, the user can do :

String[] ts = new String[100];

String[] as = new String[100];
double[] prices = new double[100];
int[] count = new int[1];
CDCollection.addCD("title1", "artist1", 1,count, ts, as, prices);

7-39
public static void addCD(String title, String artist, double price,
int[] count, String[] titles, String[] artists, double[] prices) {
titles[count[0]] = title;
artists[count[0]] = artist;
prices[count[0]] = price;
count[0]++;
}

public static boolean deleteCD(String title,int[] count,

String[] titles, String[] artists, double[] prices) {

int loc = findCD(title, count[0], titles);

if (loc == -1)
return false;
for(int i = loc + 1; i < count[0]; i++) {
titles[i-1] = titles[i];
artists[i-1] = artists[i];
prices[i-1] = prices[i];
}
count[0]--;
return true;
}
7-40
Notes
• It is still inconvenient for the user to maintain the
arrays and the count itself.
• We can let the class contain the arrays itself

7-41
Using static variables
class CDCollection4 {

private static int count = 0;

private static String[] titles = new String[100];
private static String[] artists = new String[100];
private static double[] prices = new double[100];

public static void addCD(String title, String artist, double

price) {
titles[count] = title;
artists[count] = artist;
prices[count] = price;
count++;
}

7-42
Using static variables
CDCollection.addCD("title1", "artist1", 1);
CDCollection.addCD("title2", "artist2", 2);
CDCollection.addCD("title3", "artist3", 3);
CDCollection.printCD("title3");
CDCollection.deleteCD("title2");
CDCollection.printCD("title2");

• Since the variables are static, and belong to the

class (therefore there is only once copy), a
program can only have one collection at a time.

7-43
Using Objects
• A better way is to make the variables and methods
non-static, so that objects, not the class owns the
information. So different objects will have their
own arrays, letting one to use several collections
at the same time

• We also improve the code so that it grows the

storage area as the number of CDs exceed the
capacity.

7-44
Using…
CDCollection cc1 = new CDCollection();
CDCollection cc2 = new CDCollection();

cc1.addCD("title1", "artist1", 1);

cc2.addCD("title2", "artist2", 2);
cc1.addCD("title3", "artist3", 3);
cc1.printCD("title3");

 PhoneBook example
• Implement a class that will act like a phone book: it will
contain phone numbers along with their owners
• Typical use of the class will look like:
PhoneBook pb = new PhoneBook(10);
pb.add(“cengiz”, “312-290 3395”);
pb.add(“maintenance”, “555 2323 ext 43”);
…..
System.out.println(pb);
String deptNumber = b.getNumber(“department”);
pb.remove(“nofutur”);

7-60
Parallel Array Implementation
• Each phone entry consists of a key, the name or
owner of the phone number, and the value, the
phone number itself.

• We can create two arrays, names and numbers, to

store these two pieces of information, such that
numbers[i] is the phone number corresponding to
names[i].

• Very similar to CDCollection example

• Need sequential scan to find a phone number

Parallel Array Implementation Overview
• Two separate collection to maintain
• Prone to error

• What if we want to extend our solution so that

there is not only one phone number, but several
variation like home number, work number, mobile
number? What changes do you need to do?

• It would be better if we wrap up all the phone

related information to a separate class : --

Array Implementations Overview
• Relatively fast insertions
• Iterating over the records simple
• Records are sorted by their insertion time
• If order needs to be preserved, removal is a
difficult process, otherwise deletions are fast, too.
• Finding an item needs sequential search, therefore
not very efficient

7-73
HashMap implementation
• In our implementations, what we really have is just
a mapping from a key to a value.
• Unfortunately, our arrays can only map an integer
value to a value :
 Names[i] ~ i  element at location I

It would be nice if arrays could be indexed by other

types as well :
numbers[“cengiz”] ~ “cengiz”  “312-290 3395”

7-74
 HashMap Methods
• public Object put(Object key, Object value)
 Associates the specified value with the specified key in this
map. If the map previously contained a mapping for this key,
the old value is replaced.

• public Object get(Object key)

 Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped in
this identity hash map, or null if the map contains no
mapping for this key.

HashMap map = new HashMap();

Map.put(“cengiz”, “312-290 3395”);
….
String cengizNo = (String) map.get(“cengiz”); 7-75

Two-Dimensional Arrays
• A one-dimensional array stores a list of elements

• A two-dimensional array can be thought of as a

table of elements, with rows and columns

one two
dimension dimensions

7-79
Two-Dimensional Arrays
• To be precise, in Java a two-dimensional array is
an array of arrays

• A two-dimensional array is declared by specifying

the size of each dimension separately:

int[][] scores = new int[12][50];

• A array element is referenced using two index

values:

value = scores[3][6]

• The array stored in one row can be specified

using one index

Expression Type Description

table int[][] 2D array of integers, or
array of integer arrays
table[5] int[] array of integers
table[5][12] int integer

Multidimensional Arrays
• An array can have many dimensions – if it has
more than one dimension, it is called a
multidimensional array

• Each dimension subdivides the previous one into

the specified number of elements

• Each dimension has its own length constant

• Because each dimension is an array of array

references, the arrays within one dimension can be
of different lengths
 these are sometimes called ragged arrays
