Array in Java

An array in Java allows storing multiple data items of the same type in contiguous memory blocks divided into slots. There are three types of arrays: single dimensional arrays which store data in a single list, two dimensional arrays which store data in a grid of rows and columns, and multidimensional arrays which combine these. A sample program declares a single dimensional integer array of size 100, initializes it with a for loop, and prints the elements.

Array in Java
In Java and other programming languages, there is one
capability wherein we can use one variable to store a list of
data and manipulate them more efficiently. This type of variable
is called an array.

An array stores multiple data items of the same data type,


in a contiguous block of memory, divided into a number of slots.

2. Types of Array and Syntax


The different types of arrays are single dimensional, two
dimensional and multidimensional arrays. They can be declared
in java as follows:

1)for single dimensional:

int x[]=new int[5];

2)for 2-d array:

int x[][]=new int[5][4];

3)for multidimensional array:


combination of both 1 and 2nd declaration is allowed.

3. Sample Program

1 public class ArraySample{


2 public static void main( String[] args ){
3 int[] ages = new int[100];
4 for( int i=0; i<100; i++ ){
5 System.out.print( ages[i] );
6}
7}
8}
