6 Handling Arrays in Java

The document provides an overview of handling arrays in Java, including declaration, creation, and initialization of both primitive and object arrays. It explains the syntax for single and multidimensional arrays, as well as compile-time initialization and the use of the length property. Additionally, it covers the steps to create arrays of objects and includes examples for clarity.

Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to:


• Declare and create array of primitive
types
• Declare and create array of primitive
types
Array of primitive types
Array of primitive types
 An array is a group of like-typed variables that
are referred to by a common name.

Step 1: Declaration of an array (create the


reference)
Syntax: type var-name[ ];
Example int a[];

Step 2: Creation of an array


Syntax: array-var = new type [size];
Example a = new int[10];
“
# We can combine 2 steps as follows:
int a[] = new int[10];
# we can take size from the user :
int a[] = new int[size];
#The elements in the array allocated by new will
automatically be initialized to zero (for numeric
types), false (for boolean), or null (for reference
types)
Compile time initialization
 We can initialize arrays at compile time as
shown below:

Syntax: type var-name[ val1,val2,val3, … ,


valn];
Example: int a[] = {1,2,3,4,5};
 Java provides an in-built length variable for
arrays to get the length of an array.
Syntax: arr.length
System.out.println(a.length);
Use:
for(i=0;i<a.length;i++)
{
System.out.println(a[i]);
}
Array of primitive types
Array of primitive types
Multidimensional Arrays
 Declaration of 2-D Array:int twoD[][] = new int[4]
[5];
Multidimensional Arrays
Multidimensional Arrays
Flexible 2-D Array:
 When you allocate memory for a
multidimensional array, you need only specify
the memory for the first (leftmost) dimension.

 You can allocate the remaining dimensions


separately.

int twoD[][] = new int[4][];


twoD[0] = new int[1];
twoD[1] = new int[2];
twoD[2] = new int[3];
twoD[3] = new int[4];
Multidimensional Arrays
Multidimensional Arrays
Array of Objects
Creating array of objects
Step1: Declaring array of objects
Syntax: Class_Name ref[] = new Class_Name[size];
Example: Employee e[] = new Employee[10];

Note: Step 1 does not create array of objects


physically, it is just declaration

Step2: Creating array of objects Physically


Syntax: ref[index] = new Class_Name();
Example: e[0] = new Employee(); // employee 0
obj. is created
