    Agenda

    • Introduction
    • Array declaration
    • Array creation
    • Array Initialization
    • Array declaration, creation and initialization in a
    single line
    • Length Vs length()
    Introduction
    What is the need of array?
    let us see with an example.
    To represent a single integer value. we can use
    int x=10;
    To represent a two integer value. then
    int x=10;
    int y=20;
    To represent 10000 integer value , declaring 10000 values in this manner is worst
    kind of programming practice
    In this case arrays are used . Arrays are used to represent huge number of
    values in a single variable
    Definition of array
    Definition
    An array is an indexed collection of
    fixed number of homogenous
    data elements Disadvantage
    • Array is fixed in size so
    there is no chance of
    • To represent huge
    Advantage increasing/decreasing
    number of values memory requirement.
    • Readability of code is
    improved
    Declaring Array Variables

    • datatype[] arrayRefVar;
    Example:
    double[] myList;

    • datatype arrayRefVar[]; // This style is allowed, but not


    preferred
    Example:
    double myList[]; 5
    More declaration
    One dimensional array declaration:
    Array can be declared in three ways:
    int[] x;
    int []x;
    int x[];
    The array size can’t specified yet the time of array
    declaration
    double[] myList = new double[10];

    myList reference
    myList[0] 5.6
    myList[1] 4.5
    Array reference myList[2] 3.3
    variable
    myList[3] 13.2

    myList[4] 4
    Array element at
    myList[5] 34.33 Element value
    index 5
    myList[6] 34

    myList[7] 45.45

    myList[8] 99.993

    myList[9] 11123
    Creating Arrays
    Every array in java is an object only, hence we
    can create arrays by using new operator
    Syntax:
    arrayRefVar = new datatype[arraySize];

    Example:
    myList = new double[10];

    myList[0] references the first element in the array.


    myList[9] references the last element in the array.
    8
    Declaring and Creating
    in One Step

    • datatype[] arrayRefVar = new


    datatype[arraySize];
    double[] myList = new double[10];

    • datatype arrayRefVar[] = new


    datatype[arraySize];
    double myList[] = new double[10];
    9
    Array Initializers

    • Declaring, creating, initializing in one step:


    double[] myList = {1.9, 2.9, 3.4, 3.5};

    This shorthand syntax must be in one


    statement.

    10
    Declaring, creating, initializing Using the Shorthand Notation

    double[] myList = {1.9, 2.9, 3.4, 3.5};

    This shorthand notation is equivalent to the following


    statements:
    double[] myList = new double[4];
    myList[0] = 1.9;
    myList[1] = 2.9;
    myList[2] = 3.4;
    myList[3] = 3.5;
    11
    Array declaration
    Two dimensional array declaration:
    Array can be declared in six ways:
    int[][] x; int[] []x;
    int [][]x; int[] x[];
    int x[][]; int []x[]
    The above all are valid declaration
    Two Dimensional Arrays
    Item1 Item2 Item3

    • Two dimensional arrays Sold


    Person
    allows us to store data Salesgirl #1 10 15 30

    that are recorded in


    table. For example: Salesgirl #2 14 30 33

    • Table contains 12 items, Salesgirl #3 200 32 1

    we can think of this as a


    matrix consisting of 4 Salesgirl #4 10 200 4

    rows and 3 columns.


    13
    2D arrays manipulations
    • Declaration:
    – int myArray [][];
    • Creation:
    – myArray = new int[4][3]; // OR
    – int myArray [][] = new int[4][3];
    • Initialisation:
    – Single Value;
    • myArray[0][0] = 10;
    – Multiple values:
    • int tableA[2][3] = {{10, 15, 30}, {14, 30, 33}};
    • int tableA[][] = {{10, 15, 30}, {14, 30, 33}};
    14
    Two-Dimensional Arrays
    • Declaring a two-dimensional array requires two sets of brackets
    and two size declarators
    – The first one is for the number of rows
    – The second one is for the number of columns.
    double[][] scores = new double[3][4];
    two dimensional array rows columns

    • The two sets of brackets in the data type indicate that the scores
    variable will reference a two-dimensional array.
    • Notice that each size declarator is enclosed in its own set of
    brackets.
    Accessing Two-Dimensional Array Elements

    The scores variable


    holds the address of a
    2D array of doubles. column 0 column 1 column 2 column 3
    Address
    row 0 scores[0][0] scores[0][1] scores[0][2] scores[0][3]

    row 1 scores[1][0] scores[1][1] scores[1][2] scores[1][3]


    scores[2][0] scores[2][1] scores[2][2] scores[2][3]
    row 2
    Accessing Two-Dimensional Array Elements
    Accessing one of the elements in a two-dimensional
    array requires the use of both subscripts.
    The scores variable
    scores[2][1] = 95;
    holds the address of a
    2D array of doubles.
    column 0 column 1 column 2 column 3
    Address
    row 0 0 0 0 0
    row 1 0 0 0 0
    row 2 0 95 0 0
    Accessing Two-Dimensional Array Elements
    • When processing the data in a two-
    dimensional array, each element has two
    subscripts:
    – one for its row and
    – another for its column.
