Java Arrays - Detailed Notes

1. Introduction to Arrays in Java

An array in Java is a data structure that holds a fixed number of values of a single type.

The length of an array is established when the array is created. After creation, its length is fixed.

Syntax:

dataType[] arrayName = new dataType[size];

int[] numbers = new int[5];

numbers[0] = 10;

numbers[1] = 20;

numbers[2] = 30;

numbers[3] = 40;

numbers[4] = 50;

[Link](numbers[2]);

Output: 30

2. Array Initialization and Access

Arrays can also be initialized with values directly:

int[] nums = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

You can access elements using their index (starting from 0).

int[] nums = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

[Link](nums[0]);

Output: 1

3. Looping through Arrays

You can use loops to traverse arrays, commonly using for or enhanced for loops.

int[] arr = {10, 20, 30};

for (int i = 0; i < [Link]; i++) {

[Link](arr[i]);

Output: 102030

for (int num : arr) {

[Link](num);

Output: 102030

4. Advantages of Arrays

- Arrays allow random access of elements using indices.

- Arrays are easy to traverse and manipulate using loops.

- Arrays help in efficient memory allocation when the size is known.

- They store multiple values in a single variable, reducing code complexity.

- Arrays are faster in accessing and modifying data compared to some data structures.

5. Two-Dimensional Arrays

2D arrays are arrays of arrays. They are useful for matrix-like data representation.

Syntax:

dataType[][] arrayName = new dataType[rows][columns];

int[][] matrix = {

{1, 2, 3},

{4, 5, 6},

{7, 8, 9}

};

[Link](matrix[1][1]);

Output: 5

for (int i = 0; i < [Link]; i++) {

for (int j = 0; j < matrix[i].length; j++) {

[Link](matrix[i][j] + " ");

[Link]();

Output: 1 2 34 5 67 8 9
