In this lecture we will
cover
Java – Arrays
 One Dimensional Array
 Two Dimensional Array
Java -Arrays
Java provides a data structure, the array,
which stores a fixed-size sequential
collection of elements of the same type. An
array is used to store a collection of data,
but it is often more useful to think of an
array as a collection of variables of the same
type.
 Instead of declaring individual variables,
such as number0, number1, ..., and
number99, you declare one array variable
such as numbers and use numbers[0],
numbers[1], and ..., numbers[99] to
represent individual variables.
Declaring Array variables
To use an array in a program, you
must declare a variable to
reference the array, and you
must specify the type of array
the variable can reference. Here
is the syntax for declaring an
array variable:
Array Declaration
Array Declaration
Examples
Following statement declares an
array variable, myList, creates an
array of 10 elements of double type
and assigns its reference to myList:

double[] myList = new double[10];


Following picture represents array
myList. Here, myList holds ten double
values and the indices are from 0 to
9.
Array Declaration

The size of the array must be


of type int

Processing Arrays
When processing array elements,
we often use either for loop or
foreach loop because all of the
elements in an array are of the
same type and the size of the
array is known.
Example
Foreach loop
 JDK 1.5 introduced a new for
loop known as foreach loop or
enhanced for loop, which enables
you to traverse the complete
array sequentially without using
an index variable.
Example
The following code displays all the
elements in the array myList:
Example
Write a program that finds the
sum and the average of positive
integers stored in an array of
integers.
This will produce the
following result
Passing Arrays to Methods
 Justas you can pass primitive type
values to methods, you can also pass
arrays to methods. For example, the
following method displays the
elements in an int array:
public static void printArray(int[] array)
{
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
{
System.out.print(array[i] + " ");
}
}
Passing Arrays to methods
This will produce the
following result
