Array Basics r Suppose you need to handle up to 300 Student objects in a program for maintaining a high school alumni list, would you use 300 variables pose, you need to process daily temperatures for a month period in a science project, Would you use 65 variables rYou can, but would you? r An array is a collection of data values of the same data type If your program s to deal with 100 integers, 500 Account objects, real numbers, etc, you will use an array.

Suppose you need to process daily temperatures for a 12-month period in a science project, would you use 365 variables? You can, but would you? An array is a collection of data values of the same data type. If your program needs to deal with 100 integers, 500 Account objects, 365 real numbers, etc., you will use an array

Accessing Individual Elements r Individual elements in an array accessed with the indexed expression double[ rainfall= new double[12] rainfall 01234567891011 This indexed expression The index of the first rainfall[2] refers to the element at position in an array is o position#2 C 2000 McGraw-Hill troduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java--Wu Chapter 9-5

Array Initialization r Like other data types, it is possible to declare and initialize an array at the same time. int[] number = 2,4,6,8 1 doub1e[] sampling Data={2.443,8.99,12.3,45.009,18.2, 9.00,3.123,22.084,18.08}; String[] monthName =("January,February ,"March 'April n,"May ll June I Jul August","September",October November December)i r The capacity of the array is set to the number of elements in the list number length samplingData length 9 monthName length 12 C 2000 McGraw-Hill troduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java--Wu Chapter 9-9

Arrays of objects r An array of primitive data is a powerful tool, but even more powerful is an array of objects By combining the power of arrays and objects, we can structure programs in a clean and logical organization r If we have only arrays of primitives then to represent a collection of Person or Account objects for example, we need to use several different arrays, one for names, one for addresses, and so forth t is very cumbersome and error-prone r An array of person objects or an array of Account objects will result in a more concise and easier-to understand code C 2000 McGraw-Hill Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java--Wu Chapter 9-10
