All rights reserved. 2 1Introduction Array –Consecutive group of values (i.e., 3x3 caption value of buttons in q6 in project 3) –Same name and type ( int, char, etc.) To refer to an element –Specify array name and position number (index) –Format: arrayname[ position number ] –First element at position 0 (off-by-one error, p442) N-element array c (Figure 8-2, page 436) c[ 0 ], c[ 1 ] … c[ n - 1 ] –Nth element as position N-1

All rights reserved. 3 2Arrays Array elements like other variables –Figure 8-4, page 438 (Concept) Assignment, printing for an integer array c c[ 0 ] = 3; System.out.print (c[ 0 ]); –Code 8-1, page 438 (access of any element) –Code 8-2, page 440 (loop based access) Can perform operations inside subscript c[ 5 – 2 ] same as c[3]

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 4 2Arrays c[6] Name of array (Note that all elements of this array have the same name, c) c[0] c[1] c[2] c[3] c[11] c[10] c[9] c[8] c[7] c[5] c[4] Position number of the element within array c

All rights reserved. 6 3Declaring Arrays Initializing arrays (p443) –For loop Set each element –Initializer list Specify each element when array declared int [] n = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; –If array size omitted, initializers determine size –int [] n = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }; 5 initializers, therefore 5 element array Alternative declaration (p444) –int [] n –int n []

All rights reserved. 7 4Processing Array Contents Array length –int [] n = new int [5] size = n.length for(int j = 0; j<size; j++) –Enhanced for loop for (dataType elementVal : array) statement; for (int x: n) System.out.println(x); Or for (dataType elementVal : array) { statement1; statement2; } for (int x: n) { System.out.print(“The next value is ”); System.out.println(x); }
