int[] arr = {1, 2, 3, 4};

How do you declare an array in Java?


Answer:
int[] arr; // Preferred
int arr[]; // Also valid

How do you initialize an array in Java?


Answer:
int[] arr = new int[5]; // Initialized with default values

What is the default value of array elements in Java?

int: 0, float: 0.0, boolean: false, Object: null

Can you change the size of an array after initialization?


Answer: No. Arrays are fixed in size once initialized.

Array Operations

How to find the length of an array?


Answer: Using .length property.
Example: int len = arr.length;

How to copy an array in Java?


Answer:
int[] copy = Arrays.copyOf(original, original.length);

How to reverse an array in Java?


Answer:
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length / 2; i++) {
int temp = arr[i];
arr[i] = arr[arr.length - 1 - i];
arr[arr.length - 1 - i] = temp;
}

How to sort an array in Java?


Answer: Arrays.sort(arr);

How to compare two arrays?

Arrays.equals(arr1, arr2);

Searching and Iteration

How to search an element in an array?


Answer:
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (arr[i] == key) {
// found
}
}

What is binary search?


Definition: Efficient search on a sorted array with O(log n) time.
Example:
Arrays.binarySearch(arr, key);

How to iterate over an array?


Answer:
for (int num : arr) {
System.out.println(num);
}
