Arrays

S.REVATHI AP/CSE
Arrays in Java

An array is a group of like-typed variables that are referred to by a


common name.
Arrays in Java work differently than they do in C/C++
A Java array variable can also be declared like other variables with [ ]
The variables in the array are ordered and each have an index
beginning from 0.
The size of an array must be specified by an int or short value and not
long.
Example
Types

1.One-Dimensional Arrays
2.Two-Dimensional or Multi-Dimensional Arrays
1.One-Dimensional Arrays :
The general form of a one-dimensional array declaration is:

data type var-name [ ];

Create an array of primitive data types like char, float, double, etc. or user-
defined data types (objects of a class).

Thus, the element type for the array determines what type of data the array will
hold.

Instantiating an Array:

var-name = new type [size];


Declaration and Initialization

Example:

int intArray[]; //declaring array

intArray = new int[20]; // allocating memory to array

2.Multidimensional Arrays

Multidimensional Arrays can be defined as array of arrays.


Data in multidimensional arrays are stored in tabular form (in
row major order).

Syntax:
data_type[1st dimension][2nd dimension][]..[Nthdimension] array_name = new data_type[size1][size2]….
[sizeN];
Example
Two dimensional array:

int twoD_arr [] [] = new int[10][20];

Three dimensional array:

int threeD_arr [] [] []= new int[10][20][30];
