Java

Arrays
Type
s
• Java has two kind of types
– Primitive Types
• int, byte, short, long, double, float, boolean,
char
– Class Types
• Everything else, for example
– String, Scanner, Arrays, Vector, JButton,
JCheckBox
Proble
m?
• Implement an application that will
calculate 100 students exam average.
• Variables needed?
– int studentA;
– int studentB;
– int studentC;
– int studentD;

– ...
Several Variables at Once?
•Array comes to the rescue! Just a list of variables
Declare the array
– int [] array;
•Initialize the array and set it's size
– array = new array[3];
•Store values into array
• array[0] = 2;
• array[1] = 3;
• array[2] = 7;
Array
int [] myarray = new int[3];
myarray[0] = 1;
myarray[1] = 12;
myarray[2] = 88;
[Link](myarray[0]);

[Link](myarray[1]);

[Link](myarray[2]);

0 1 2
1 12 88
myarray

length =
3
Index
es
• The values can be retrieved from the
array using index.
• The first value is found from index 0 and
the last from length – 1
– int [] myarray = new int[LENGTH];
– myarray[0] = 1; // first one
– myarray[LENGTH-1] = 22; // last one
Initializing the Array
with {}
int [] myarray = new int[3];
myarray[0] = 2;
myarray[1] = 8;
myarray[2] = 12;

<=>

int [] myarray = {2,8,12};


Common Problems
int [] myarray1 = {2,8,12};
int [] myarray2 = new int[3];

// Output?
[Link](myarray1[3]);
// Output?
[Link](myarray2[0]));
// Output?
[Link](myarray1);
Example 1
int [] myarray = {2,8,12};
int i = 0;
while(i < 3)
{
[Link](myarray[i]);
i++;
}
Example 2
int [] myarray = {2,8,12};
int i = 0;
while(i < m y a r r a y . l
e

ng

th)
{
[Link](myarray[i]);
Example 3
int [] myarray = {2,8,12};

for(int i = 0; i < m y a r r a y . l e n g t h ; i +
+)
{
[Link](myarray[i]);
}
Example 3
int [] myarray = new int[3];

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


{
myarray[i] = [Link]();
}

for(int i = [Link]-1; i >= 0; i -- )


{
[Link](myarray[i]);
}
