Control Structures and Arrays

Learn to manage array elements using control structures
 ARRAY

Ø An array is a structure that holds multiple

values of the same type.

Ø The length of an array is established when

the array is created (at runtime).

Ø After creation, an array is a fixed-length

structure.

Control Structures and Arrays

 First index
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Array length is 10

Element at index 8

Control Structures and Arrays

 Array Declaration
Syntax:
type arrayName[ ] = new type[length];

Example:
String names[ ] = new String[5];
int [ ]grades = new int[15];
double[ ] grades;
grades = new double[2];

Control Structures and Arrays

 Array Initialization
Syntax:
type arrayName[ ] = {value,value,…};

Example:
String names[ ] ={“maria”,”blanco”,”forever”};

Control Structures and Arrays

 Storing Values in an Array
Syntax:
arrayName[index] = value;

Example:
names[0] = “John Doe”;
names[1] = “Jane Doe”;

Control Structures and Arrays

 Multi-dimesional Array
Syntax:
type[ ][ ] = new type[row][column];

Example:
int[ ][ ] = new int[5][4];
