Arrays:-

1) Array is a final class inheritance is not possible.

2) Arrays are used to store the multiple numbers of elements of single type.
3) The length of the array is established at the time of array creation. After creation the length is
fixed.
4) The items presented in the array are classed elements. Those elements can be accessed by index
values. The index is begins from (0).

Advantages of array:-
1) Length of the code will be decreased
2) We can access the element present in the any location.
3) Readability of the code will be increased.

First element element at 5th position

10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 index
Length is 9

Root structure:-
java.lang.Object

+--java.lang.reflect.Array

public final class Array extends Object

single dimensional array declaration:-

int[] a;
int []a;
int a[];

declaration & instantiation & initialization :-

approach 1:- int a[]={10,20,30,40};
approach 2:- int[] a=new int[100];
a[0]=10;
a[1]=20;
a[2]=30;
a[4]=40;

{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int[] a={10,20,30,40};
System.out.println(a[0]);
System.out.println(a[1]);
System.out.println(a[2]);
System.out.println(a[3]);

Scanner s=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("enter values");
for (int i=0;i<a.length;i++)

Ex:-
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int[] a=new int[100];
System.out.println(a.length);
System.out.println(a[99]);
boolean[] b=new boolean[100];
System.out.println(b[99]);
char[] ch=new char[50];
System.out.println(ch[44]);
byte[] bb=new byte[100];
System.out.println(bb[100]);//ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
}
}
Ex:-
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int[] a=new int[4];// allocates memory for 4 elements
a[0]=10;
a[1]=100;
a[2]=1000;
a[3]=10000;
System.out.println(a.length);
for (int i=0;i<a.length;i++ )
{
System.out.println(a[i]);
}
}
}
To get the class name of the array:-
getClass() method is used to get the class.
getName() method is used to print the name of the class.
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int[] a={10,20,30};
System.out.println(a.getClass().getName());
}
}
