Practical 06:- Write a program to illustrate the type of array in java.

Introduction

Array in java:
An array is a collection of similar types of data. It is a group of like-typed variables
referred to by a common name. Arrays in Java work differently than they do in C/C++.
For example, if we want to store the names of 100 people then we can create an array of
the string type that can store 100 names.
String[] array = new String[100];
Here, the above array cannot store more than 100 names. The number of values in a Java
array is always fixed.

In Java, here is how we can declare an array.

dataType[] arrayName;
• dataType – it can be primitive data types like int, char, double, byte, etc. or Java
objects
• arrayName – it is an identifier

For example,
Double[] data;
Here, data is an array that can hold values of type double.
Here are Some of key features of array in Java:-
• In Java, all arrays are dynamically allocated.
• Arrays are stored in contiguous memory [consecutive memory locations].
• Since arrays are objects in Java, we can find their length using the object property
length. This is different from C/C++, where we find length using sizeof.
• A Java array variable can also be declared like other variables with [] after the data
type.
• The variables in the array are ordered, and each has an index beginning with 0.
• Java array can also be used as a static field, a local variable, or a method parameter.
• The size of an array must be specified by int or short value and not long.
//Java program to implement array.
class ImplementArray{
int a;
int b;
ImplementArray(int a, int b){
this.a=a;
this.b=b;
}
}
public class Array{ //main class~.java file
public static void main(String[] args){
int i,j;
int[] b =new int[5];
b[0]=1;
b[1]=2;
int[] ar={2,3,5,7,8};
short[] ars={7,6,4,8};
float[] arf={1.3f,0.3f,3.14f,1.6f};
char[] arc={'J','A','V','A'};
String[] arst={"Programming","in","Java","is Fun."};
int[][] ar2d={{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}};

System.out.println("\n1-D array of integer type.");

for(i=0;i<ar.length;i++){
System.out.println(ar[i]);
}
System.out.println("\n1-D array of Short type.");
for(i=0;i<ars.length;i++){
System.out.println(ars[i]);
}
System.out.println("\n1-D array of float type.");
for(i=0;i<arf.length;i++){
System.out.println(arf[i]);
 }
System.out.println("\n1-D array of char type.");
for(i=0;i<arc.length;i++){
System.out.println(arc[i]);
}
System.out.println("\n1-D array of String type.");
for(i=0;i<arst.length;i++){
System.out.print(arst[i]+" ");
}
System.out.println("\n\n2-D array of integer type.");
for(i=0;i<ar2d.length;i++){
for(j=0;j<ar2d.length;j++){
System.out.print(ar2d[i][j]);
}
System.out.println(" ");
}
//Array of Objects
ImplementArray obj1=new ImplementArray(4,5);
ImplementArray obj2=new ImplementArray(7,8);
ImplementArray[] s=new ImplementArray[2];
s[0]=obj1; //assigning one object to array of Objects
s[1]=obj2;

System.out.println("Element of 1st obj="+s[0].a+" and "+s[0].b);

System.out.println("Element of 2st obj="+s[1].a+" and "+s[1].b);
}
}
//Output
1-D array of integer type.
