Learning Objective/ Key learning

► Understand concept of array in Java

Page 7 Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education

Concept Explanation:

► Arrays in Java are homogeneous data structures implemented in Java as objects.

► Arrays store one or more values of a specific data type and provide indexed access to store the same. A
specific element in an array is accessed by its index. Arrays offer a convenient means of grouping related
information.
Obtaining an array is a two-step process.
1. First, you must declare a variable of the desired array type
2. Second, you must allocate the memory that will hold the array, using new, and assign it to the array
variable

One Dimensional Array

► A list of items can be given one variable name using only one subscript and such a variable is called
a single-subscripted variable or a one –dimensional array.
Creating an array
► Array must be declared and created in the computer memory before they are used.
► Creation of array involves three steps:
► declare the array
► create memory locations
► put values into the memory locations
Declaration of an Array
Array can be declared in two forms
Syntax:
1) Type arrayname [ ];
2) data type [ ]arrayname;
Example: int number [ ];
int [ ] numbers;

Creation of array

► After declaring the variable for the array, the array needs to be created in the memory.
► This can be done by using the new operator in the following way:
Arrayname = new type[size];
numbers = new int [10];
► This statement assigns ten contiguous memory locations of the type int to the variable numbers. The
array can store ten elements.
int number [] = new int[10];

Initialization of array

 The final step is to put values into the array created. This process is known as
initialization .
 Syntax:
Arrayname[subscript] = value;
 Example:
number[0] = 50;
number[1] = 60;
 we can also initialize array automatically in the same way as ordinary variable
when they are declared.
type arrayname[] = { list of values};
int number[] = { 35,40,50,45,95 };

Array length

 In java all array store the allocated size in a variable named length. We can access the length of the
array using a.length
 int asize = a.length;

Program
class arraytest
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int [] a1;
a1=new int[3];
a1[0]=11;
a1[1]=22;
a1[2]=33;
System.out.println("first element= "+a1[0]);
System.out.println("first element= "+a1[1]);
System.out.println("first element= "+a1[2]);
}
}

Two Dimensional Arrays

 A two dimensional array can be thought of as a table of rows and columns

 Syntax:
data type [] [] variablename;
 Example:
int [] [] numbers;
 To create the array in the memory, following statement can be use
numbers = new int [3][3];
 This will create two dimensional array of 9 elements – three rows and three columns.
