What is an Java Array?
• An array is a collection of similar type of elements which has
contiguous memory location.
• Java array is an object which contains elements of a similar data
type.
• Array in Java is index-based, the first element of the array is
stored at the 0th index, 2nd element is stored on 1st index and
so on.

Advantages
• Code Optimization: It makes the code optimized, we can retrieve or sort the
data efficiently.
• Random access: We can get any data located at an index position.
Disadvantages
• Size Limit: We can store only the fixed size of elements in the array. It doesn't
grow its size at runtime. To solve this problem, collection framework is used in
Java which grows automatically.
Types of Array
There are two types of array:
• Single Dimensional Array
• Multidimensional Array
Single Dimensional Array in Java
Syntax to Declare an Array in Java
1. dataType[] arr;
2. dataType []arr;
3. dataType arr[];
Instantiation of an Array in Java
arrayRefVar=new datatype[size];
Example
class Testarray{ Output:
public static void main(String args[]){ 10
int a[]=new int[4]; //declaration and instantiation 20
a[0]=10; //initialization
a[1]=20; 70
a[2]=70; 40
a[3]=40;
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)//length is the property of array
System.out.println(a[i]);
}}
Single Dimensional Array in Java
Declaration, Instantiation and Initialization of Java Array:
We can declare, instantiate and initialize the java array
together by:
int a[]={33,3,4,5}; //declaration, instantiation and initialization
Passing Array to a Method in Java
class Testarray2{
//creating a method which receives an array as a parameter Output:
static void min(int arr[]){ 3
int min=arr[0];
for(int i=1;i<arr.length;i++)
if(min>arr[i]) {
min=arr[i]; }
System.out.println(min);
}
public static void main(String args[]){
int a[]={33,3,4,5}; //declaring and initializing an array
min(a); //passing array to method
}}
Multidimensional Array
Syntax to Declare Multidimensional Array in Java
1. dataType[][] arrayRefVar;
2. dataType [][]arrayRefVar;
3. dataType arrayRefVar[][];
4. dataType []arrayRefVar[];
Example to instantiate Multidimensional Array in Java
int[][] arr=new int[3][3];//3 row and 3 column
Multidimensional Array
Example to initialize Multidimensional Array in Java
arr[0][0]=1;
arr[0][1]=2;
arr[0][2]=3;
arr[1][0]=4;
arr[1][1]=5;
arr[1][2]=6;
arr[2][0]=7;
arr[2][1]=8;
arr[2][2]=9;
Multidimensional Array
class Testarray5{ for(int i=0;i<2;i++){
public static void main(String args[]){ for(int j=0;j<3;j++){
int a[][]={{1,3,4},{3,4,5}}; c[i][j]=a[i][j]+b[i][j];
int b[][]={{1,3,4},{3,4,5}}; System.out.print(c[i][j]+" ");
}
//matrix to store the sum of two matrices System.out.println(); //new line
int c[][]=new int[2][3]; }
}} Output:
//adding and printing addition of 2 matrices

Multiplication of 2 Matrices in Java
Multiplication of 2 Matrices in Java
//Java Program to multiply two matrices for(int i=0;i<3;i++){
public class MatrixMultiplicationExample{ for(int j=0;j<3;j++){
public static void main(String args[]){ c[i][j]=0;
//creating two matrices for(int k=0;k<3;k++)
int a[][]={{1,1,1},{2,2,2},{3,3,3}}; {
int b[][]={{1,1,1},{2,2,2},{3,3,3}}; c[i][j]+=a[i][k]*b[k][j];
} //end of k loop
//creating matrix to store the multiplication of System.out.print(c[i][j]+" ");
two matrices
//printing matrix element
int c[][]=new int[3][3]; //3 rows and 3 columns } //end of j loop
System.out.println(); //new line
//multiplying multiplication of 2 matrices }
}}
