07-Java Array

Java arrays are objects that store elements of the same data type in contiguous memory locations, allowing for fixed-size collections and efficient data retrieval. There are two types of arrays: single-dimensional and multidimensional, with various methods for declaration, instantiation, initialization, and copying. Additionally, Java provides enhanced for loops for easier traversal of arrays and a robust String class for handling sequences of characters.

Java Array

Normally, array is a collection of similar type of elements that have contiguous memory location.

Java array is an object the contains elements of similar data type. It is a data structure where we
store similar elements. We can store only fixed set of elements in a java array.

Array in java is index based, first element of the array is stored at 0 index.

Advantage of Java Array

 Code Optimization: It makes the code optimized, we can retrieve or sort the data easily.
 Random access: We can get any data located at any index position.

Types of Array in java

There are two types of array.

 Single Dimensional Array


 Multidimensional Array

Single Dimensional Array in java

Syntax to Declare an Array in java

1. dataType[] arr; (or)


2. dataType []arr; (or)
3. dataType arr[];

Instantiation of an Array in java

arrayRefVar=new datatype[size];

Example of single dimensional java array

class Testarray{
public static void main(String args[]){
int a[]=new int[5];//declaration and instantiation
a[0]=10;//initialization
a[1]=20;
a[2]=70;
a[3]=40;
a[4]=50;
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)//length is the property of array
System.out.println(a[i]);
}}
Declaration, Instantiation and Initialization of Java Array

We can declare, instantiate and initialize the java array together by:

int a[]={33,3,4,5};//declaration, instantiation and initialization

Example

class Testarray1{
public static void main(String args[]){

int a[]={33,3,4,5};//declaration, instantiation and initialization

//printing array
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)//length is the property of array
System.out.println(a[i]);

}}

Passing Array to method in java

class Testarray2{
static void min(int arr[]){
int min=arr[0];
for(int i=1;i<arr.length;i++)
if(min>arr[i])
min=arr[i];

System.out.println(min);
}

public static void main(String args[]){

int a[]={33,3,4,5};
min(a);//passing array to method

}}

class name of java array

class Testarray4{
public static void main(String args[]){

int arr[]={4,4,5};
Class c=arr.getClass();
String name=c.getName();

System.out.println(name);

}}

Copying a java array

We can copy an array to another by the arraycopy method of System class.

Syntax of arraycopy method

public static void arraycopy( Object src, int srcPos,Object dest, int destPos, int length)

Example

class TestArrayCopyDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
char[] copyFrom = { 'd', 'e', 'c', 'a', 'f', 'f', 'e','i', 'n', 'a', 't', 'e', 'd' };
char[] copyTo = new char[7];

System.arraycopy(copyFrom, 2, copyTo, 0, 7);


System.out.println(new String(copyTo));
}
}

The foreach Loops:

JDK 1.5 introduced a new for loop known as foreach loop or enhanced for loop, which enables you to
traverse the complete array sequentially without using an index variable.

public class TestArray {

public static void main(String[] args) {


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

// Print all the array elements


for (double element: myList) {
System.out.println(element);
}
}
}
Java String
Strings are a sequence of characters. In the Java programming language, strings are objects.

The java.lang.String class provides a lot of methods to work on string. By the help of these
methods, we can perform operations on string such as trimming, concatenating, converting,
comparing, replacing strings etc.

Java String is a powerful concept because everything is treated as a string if you submit any form
in window based, web based or mobile application.

Creating Strings:
String greeting = "Hello world!";
Whenever it encounters a string literal in your code, the compiler creates a String object with its value in
this case, "Hello world!'.

public class StringDemo{

public static void main(String args[]){


char[] helloArray = { 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '.'};
String helloString = new String(helloArray);
System.out.println( helloString );
}
}
