Arrays in Java

• An array is a collection of homogeneous elements that are


referred to by a common name.
• In Java all arrays are dynamically allocated.
Vishwakarma Institute of Technology

• Since arrays are objects in Java, we can find their length


using the object property length.
• The direct superclass of an array type is object.
• Arrays can be created for primitive as well as non primitive
data types.
Object Oriented Programming 3
Arrays in Java

• One-Dimensional Arrays
• A one-dimensional array is, essentially, a list of like-typed
variables.
Vishwakarma Institute of Technology

• To create an array, we first must create an array variable of


the desired type.
• The general form of a one-dimensional array declaration is
• type var-name[ ];
• Here, type declares the element type (also called the base
type) of the array. Object Oriented Programming 4
Arrays in Java

• The element type determines the data type of each


element that comprises the array.
• Thus, the element type for the array determines what type
Vishwakarma Institute of Technology

of data the array will hold.


• For example, the following declares an array named
month_days with the type “array of int”:
• int month_days[];

Object Oriented Programming 5


Arrays in Java

• Although this declaration establishes the fact that


month_days is an array variable, no array actually exists.
• To link month_days with an actual, physical array of
Vishwakarma Institute of Technology

integers, we must allocate one using new and assign it to


month_days.

• new is a special operator that allocates memory.

Object Oriented Programming 6


Arrays in Java

• The general form of new as it applies to one-


dimensional arrays appears as follows:
Vishwakarma Institute of Technology

• array-var = new type [size];

• type specifies the type of data being allocated.

• size specifies the number of elements in the array.

• array-var is the array variable that is linked to the


array.
Object Oriented Programming 7
Arrays in Java

• To use new to allocate an array, we must specify the type and


number of elements to allocate.
• The elements in the array allocated by new will automatically be
Vishwakarma Institute of Technology

initialized to default values.


• month_days = new int[12];

• This example allocates a 12 -element array of integers and links


them to month_days:
• After this statement executes, month_days will refer to an array
of 12 integers.
• Further, all elements in the array will be initialized to zero.
Object Oriented Programming 8
Array Declaration and Initialization

• Using literals

e. g. int [] x = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};
• Using new keyword
Vishwakarma Institute of Technology

e.g int [] x = new int[10];
