Introducing Arrays
Array is a data structure that represents a
collection of the same types of data.
double[] myList = new double[10];

myList reference myList[0]


myList[1]
myList[2] An Array of 10
myList[3] Elements
myList[4] of type double
myList[5]
myList[6]
myList[7]
myList[8]
myList[9]
Declaring Array Variables
 datatype[] arrayname;
Example:
double[] myList;

 datatype arrayname[];
Example:
double myList[];
Creating Arrays

arrayName = new datatype[arraySize];

Example:
myList = new double[10];

myList[0] references the first element in the array.


myList[9] references the last element in the array.
Declaring and Creating
in One Step
 datatype[] arrayname = new
datatype[arraySize];
double[] myList = new double[10];

 datatypearrayname[] = new
datatype[arraySize];
double myList[] = new double[10];
The Length of Arrays

 Once an array is created, its size is fixed.


It cannot be changed. You can find its size
using

arrayVariable.length

For example,
myList.length returns 10
Initializing Arrays

 Using a loop:
for (int i = 0; i < myList.length; i++)
myList[i] = i;

 Declaring, creating, initializing in one step:


double[] myList = {1.9, 2.9, 3.4, 3.5};
This shorthand syntax must be in one statement.
Declaring, creating, initializing
Using the Shorthand Notation
double[] myList = {1.9, 2.9, 3.4, 3.5};
This shorthand notation is equivalent to the following statements:

double[] myList = new double[4];


myList[0] = 1.9;
myList[1] = 2.9;
myList[2] = 3.4;
myList[3] = 3.5;
