💡 Key Idea

Arrays: Fixed-Size, Indexed Collections

Store multiple values in one variable.

A Java array is an object that holds a fixed number of elements of the same data type, stored in contiguous memory locations. It is a *static data structure* because its size must be specified at declaration and cannot change at runtime. Array indexing starts at 0, so the first element...

↳ Arrays are fixed-size, index-based containers for same-type elements.

⚙️ Process

Declaring, Instantiating, and Initializing Arrays

Three steps to create an array.

↳ Declaration, instantiation, and initialization are distinct steps; shorthand combines them.

✏️ Example

Printing an Array with a Loop

Iterate using the length property.

Note: `length` is a property of arrays, not a method.

↳ Use `array.length` in a for loop to traverse all elements.

Java Arrays and Strings: Core Concepts and Operations

This topic covers Java arrays and strings, including array declaration, instantiation, initialization, multidimensional arrays, and passing arrays to methods. It also explains String immutability, the string constant poo...

  • Arrays are fixed-size, index-based collections of similar data types, stored in contiguous memory.
  • Array declaration does not include size; instantiation with `new` allocates heap memory.
  • Arrays have a `length` property, while strings have a `length()` method.

17 questions laddered from warm-up to topper-level, each with an explanation. A taste:

Which of the following correctly declares an array in Java?

Beginner
A int arr[5]; B int arr = new int[5]; C int arr[]; D int arr[5] = new int[];
Show answer & explanation

int arr[];

In Java, array size cannot be specified in the declaration. The correct syntax is `int arr[];` or `int[] arr;`.

What is the default value of an element in an int array in Java?

Beginner
A undefined B null C 0 D 1
Show answer & explanation

0

When an array is created, each element is assigned a default value based on the data type. For int, the default is 0.

Which of the following is true about arrays in Java?

Beginner
A Arrays are always created in heap memory. B Arrays can only store primitive types. C Array size can be changed at runtime. D Arrays are stored on the stack.
Show answer & explanation

Arrays are always created in heap memory.

In Java, arrays are objects and are always created in heap memory. They can store both primitives and objects, and their size is fixed once created.

What is the output of the following code? ```java int a[] = {1, 2, 3}; System.out.println(a.length); ```

Beginner
A 4 B 3 C 2 D Compilation error
Show answer & explanation

3

The `length` property of an array returns the number of elements. Here, the array has 3 elements, so it prints 3.
