©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter Array Basics Suppose we have a sequence of data values which all need to be processed in the same way. –We would like to use a loop but how do we process a different variable each time through the loop? An array is an indexed collection of data values. If your program needs to deal with 100 integers, 500 Account objects, 365 real numbers, etc., you can use an array. An array is a collection of data values of the same type.

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter Arrays of Primitive Data Types Array variables are reference types (like objects) Array Declaration [ ] //variation 1 [ ]//variation 2 Array Instantiation (Creation) = new [ ] Example double[ ] rainfall; rainfall = new double[12]; Variation 1 double rainfall [ ]; rainfall = new double[12]; Variation 2 An array is like an object!

Individual elements in an array accessed by index. double[] rainfall = new double[12]; The index of the first position in an array is 0. rainfall rainfall[2] This indexed expression refers to the element at position #2 rainfall.length is 12

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter Reading Data into an Array double[] rainfall = new double[12]; double annualAverage, sum = 0.0; Scanner kbd = new Scanner( System.in); for (int i = 0; i < rainfall.length; i++) { System.out.println("Rainfall for month " + (i+1)); rainfall[i] = kbd.nextDouble(); sum += rainfall[i]; } annualAverage = sum / rainfall.length; The public constant length returns the capacity of an array.

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter Using an Array of Strings double[] rainfall = new double[12]; String[] monthName = new String[12]; monthName[0] = "January"; monthName[1] = "February"; … double annualAverage, sum = 0.0; Scanner kbd = new Scanner( System.in); for (int i = 0; i < rainfall.length; i++) { System.out.println("Rainfall for month " + monthName[i]); rainfall[i] = kbd.nextDouble(); sum += rainfall[i]; } annualAverage = sum / rainfall.length; The same pattern for the remaining ten months. The actual month name instead of a number.

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter Use Loops to Process Array Data Compute the average rainfall for each quarter. //assume rainfall is declared and initialized properly double[] quarterAverage = new double[4]; for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) { sum = 0; for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) { //compute the sum of sum += rainfall[3*i + j];//one quarter } quarterAverage[i] = sum / 3.0; //Quarter (i+1) average }

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter Array Initialization Like other data types, it is possible to declare and initialize an array at the same time. int[] number = { 2, 4, 6, 8 }; double[] samplingData = { 2.443, 8.99, 12.3, , 18.2, 9.00, 3.123, , }; String[] monthName = {"January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" }; number.length samplingData.length monthName.length

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter Array Size Specification The size of an array can be specified as a constant or an expression The following code prompts the user for the size of an array and declares an array of designated size: int size; Scanner kbd = new Scanner( System.in); int[] number; System.out.println("Size of an array:"); size= kbd.nextInt(); number = new int[size];

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter Arrays of Objects In addition to arrays of primitive data types, we can declare arrays of objects An array of primitive data is a powerful tool, but an array of objects is even more powerful. The use of an array of objects allows us to model the application more cleanly and logically.

Person latte; latte = new Person( ); latte.setName("Ms. Latte"); latte.setAge(20); latte.setGender('F'); System.out.println( "Name: " + latte.getName() ); System.out.println( "Age : " + latte.getAge() ); System.out.println( "Sex : " + latte.getGender() ); The Person class supports the set methods and get methods.c

String name, inpStr; intage; chargender; Scanner kbd = new Scanner( System.in); for (int i = 0; i < person.length; i++) { //read in data values System.out.println("Enter name:" ); name = kbd.next(); System.out.println("Enter age:" ); age= kbd.nextInt(); System.out.println("Enter gender:" ); inpStr= kbd.next(); gender = inpStr.charAt(0); //create a new Person and assign values person[i] = new Person( name, age, gender); }

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter Partially Filled Arrays We don't always know how big an array we need –What happens if we aren't using all the elements? Fill the array in order and use a counter variable to keep track of how many elements have been used –Don't leave holes For object arrays, can use the first null element as a sentinal –What happens if we run out of room? Allocate a new block of memory (using new) Copy all the elements from the old array to the new one Set the reference to the new array

System.out.println( array); –To print the individual elements, you need to use a loop. What do you expect the comparison a==b to do? –To compare the individual elements of a and b you need to write a loop.

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter for Loops with Arrays We can use a for loop to process all the elements of an array. for (int i=0; i<array.length; i++) { /* process array[i] /* } Java 1.5 added a new loop syntax to be used with arrays and collections for (element : array) { /* process element /* } This loop iterates through all the elements in the array but you don't need to use an index

Permission required for reproduction or display. 4 th Ed Chapter Sample 2-D Array Processing Find the average of each row. double[ ] average = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 }; for (int i = 0; i < payScaleTable.length; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < payScaleTable[i].length; j++) { average[i] += payScaleTable[i][j]; } average[i] = average[i] / payScaleTable[i].length; }

Java Implementation of 2-D Arrays The sample array creation payScaleTable = new double[4][5]; is really a shorthand for payScaleTable = new double [4][ ]; payScaleTable[0] = new double [5]; payScaleTable[1] = new double [5]; payScaleTable[2] = new double [5]; payScaleTable[3] = new double [5];
