Array

Topic/Course
Sub-Topic (Example: name of college)
Array
• Java array is an object which contains fixed set of elements of a similar
data type.
• Array can contains primitives data types as well as objects of a class
depending on the definition of array.
• Index-based, the first element of the array is stored at the 0th index, 2nd
element is stored on 1st index and so on.
• Can get the length of the array using the length member.
Types

• Single dimensional array

• Multi dimensional array
• Jagged/Ragged array
Single dimensional array
Syntax:
//declaration
datatype[] var;
datatype []var;
datatype var[];

//instantiation
var = new datatype[size];

//declaration, instantiation and initialization

datatype var[] = {value1,value2,value3};
1 class Testarray1{
2 public static void main(String args[]){
3 int a[]={33,3,4,5};
4 for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)
5 System.out.println(a[i]);

Multi dimensional array

• Elements in two-dimensional arrays are commonly referred

by x[i][j] where ‘i’ is the row number and ‘j’ is the column number.
Multi dimensional array
Syntax:
//declaration
datatype[][] var;
datatype [][] var;
datatype var[][];
datatype []var[];

//instantiation
var = new datatype[rowsize][columnsize];

//declaration, instantiation and initialization

datatype var[] = { value1, value2, value3 };
1 class Testarray3{
2 public static void main(String args[]){
3 int arr[][]={{1,2,3},{2,4,5},{4,4,5}};

Jagged/Ragged array

• “Array of arrays” is an array whose elements are arrays.

• 2-D arrays with variable number of columns in each row.
Memory representation
int[][] jaggedArr = {{1, 2}, {3, 4, 5}, {6, 7, 8, 9}};
Jagged/Ragged array

Example:

int[][] multiDimensionalArr = new int[3][];

multiDimensionalArr[0] = new int[2];
multiDimensionalArr[1] = new int[3];
multiDimensionalArr[2] = new int[4];

int[][] multiDimensionalArr = {{1, 2}, {3, 4, 5}, {6, 7, 8, 9}};

1 int[][] factors = new int[][] int[] PrimeFactorsOf(int value)
2 { {
3 null, if (value < factors.Length)
4 new int[] { }, {
5 new int[] { 2 }, return factors[value];
6 new int[] { 3 }, }
7 new int[] { 2, 2 }, else
8 new int[] { 5 }, {
9 new int[] { 2, 3}, // . . .
10 new int[] { 7 }, }
11 new int[] { 2, 2, 2 }, }
12 new int[] { 3, 3 },
13 new int[] { 2, 5 },
14 // ...
15 };
Output
1 2 3
2 4 5
4 4 5
• JVM throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if length of the array
in negative, equal to the array size or greater than the array size while
traversing the array.
