Summary of array knowledge in Java

This week we learned the basic concepts of arrays, including one-dimensional arrays, two-dimensional arrays, and even multidimensional arrays. Here, I make a simple summary of the basic knowledge points of the array, in order to later temperature.

First, the basic concepts and syntax of the array:

An array is a one-time definition of multiple variables, which is a collection of elements of the same data type; basic syntax:

1. Declaration of an array: Two ways to declare an array: (1) data type [] array name for example: int [] A; (2) data type array name [] For example: int a [];

2. Length of the array: Array.Length.
int [] array = new int []{1,2,3,4,5,6,7};
System.out.println (Array.Length); When creating an array, you must specify the length of the array, and no change is allowed once defined.
3. The subscript of the array: 0--array.length-1; The maximum subscript is the length length-1;

4. Three major features of the array (cons):

(1) The memory space created by the array can only store data of the same data type;

(2) The memory space allocated by the array is continuous;

(3) The allocated memory space of an array is not extensible; that is, the length of the array cannot be changed once it is determined;

5. Array stores the values of the data:

The creation of an array must first be initialized, local variables: used after first assignment; array elements: uninitialized, with default values.

The default value for an array of type int is: 0
The default value for an array of type Boolean is: false
The default value for an array of type Byte is: 0
The default value for array of type short is: 0
The default value for an array of type float is: 0.0
The default value for an array of type Double is: 0.0

The initial value of an array of type string is: null

6. Expansion of arrays: int [] a = new int[3];

A) Create a new array int [] b = new Int[6];

b) Copy the data from the old array to the new array a---->b (copy)

(c) Let the old array point to the new array's address A = B;

7. Two-dimensional array:

For example: int[][] a = new int [2][3]; Low dimension control Row (outer) High dimension Control column (inner layer). A two-dimensional array is a one-dimensional array of one-dimensional arrays: int [] [] a = new int[2][3];

Length of two-dimensional array: a.length------outer array (row); b.length------> Inner Array (column)
