Arrays

Arrays are used to store multiple values in a single variable, allowing for efficient data management. They can be declared with a specific type and accessed or modified using index numbers. Multi-dimensional arrays enable the storage of data in a tabular format, and both types of arrays can be iterated through using loops.

ARRAYS

• ARRAYS ARE USED TO STORE MULTIPLE VALUES IN A


SINGLE VARIABLE, INSTEAD OF DECLARING SEPARATE
VARIABLES FOR EACH VALUE.

• TO DECLARE AN ARRAY, DEFINE THE VARIABLE TYPE


WITH SQUARE BRACKETS:

STRING[] CARS = {"VOLVO", "BMW", "FORD", "MAZDA"};


ACCESS THE ELEMENTS OF AN ARRAY
• You can access an array element by referring to the index
number.

• This statement accesses the value of the first element in cars:

public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] cars = {"Volvo", "BMW", "Ford", "Mazda"};
System.out.println(cars[0]);
}
}
CHANGE AN ARRAY ELEMENT
• To change the value of a specific element, refer to the index
number:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] cars = {"Volvo", "BMW", "Ford", "Mazda"};
cars[0] = "Opel";
System.out.println(cars[0]);
}
}
CHANGE MORE ARRAY ELEMENT
ARRAY LENGTH
• To find out how many elements an array has, use the length
property:

public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] cars = {"Volvo", "BMW", "Ford", "Mazda"};
System.out.println(cars.length);
}
}
ARRAYS LOOP
• You can loop through the array elements with the for loop, and use the
length property to specify how many times the loop should run.
• The following example outputs all elements in the cars array:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] cars = {"Volvo", "BMW", "Ford", "Mazda"};
for (int i = 0; i < cars.length; i++) {
System.out.println(cars[i]);
}
}
}
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL ARRAYS
• A multidimensional array is an array of arrays.
• Multidimensional arrays are useful when you want to
store data as a tabular form, like a table with rows
and columns.
• To create a two-dimensional array, add each array
within its own set of curly braces:
Example:
int[][] myNumbers = { {1, 2, 3, 4}, {5, 6, 7} };
ACCESS ELEMENTS
• To access the elements of the myNumbers array, specify two
indexes: one for the array, and one for the element inside
that array. This example accesses the third element (2) in the
second array (1) of myNumbers:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[][] myNumbers = { {1, 2, 3, 4}, {5, 6, 7} };
System.out.println(myNumbers[1][2]);
}
}
CHANGE ELEMENT VALUES
LOOP THROUGH A MULTI-
DIMENSIONAL ARRAY
• You can also use a for loop inside another for loop to get the elements of a two-
dimensional array (we still have to point to the two indexes):
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[][] myNumbers = { {1, 2, 3, 4}, {5, 6, 7} };
for (int i = 0; i < myNumbers.length; ++i) {
for(int j = 0; j < myNumbers[i].length; ++j) {
System.out.println(myNumbers[i][j]);
}
}
}
}
