Slide 1
Welcome |
Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Array Operations in java. |
Slide 2
Learning Outcomes |
In this tutorial, you will learn how to
import the class Arrays and, perform basic operations on arrays. |
Slide 3
Tools Used |
For this tutorial we are using
Ubuntu 11.10, JDK 1.6 and Eclipse 3.7.0 |
Slide 4
Prerequisites |
For this tutorial, you should have knowledge on arrays in Java.
|
Slide 5
import java.util.Arrays |
The methods for array operations are available in a class called Arrays.
|
Point to the code
{Eclipse should contain the following code} public class ArraysDemo{ public static void main(String[] args){ } } |
Switch to eclipse.
|
Before the line public class..., type
import java.util.Arrays; |
The import statement is given before the class definition.
|
Inside the main function, type
int marks[] = {2, 7, 5, 4, 8}; |
Now let us add an array.
|
In next line, type
String mStr = Arrays.toString(marks);
|
Now we shall use a method available in the Arrays class to get a string representation of the array and print it.
|
Save and run. Point to output | As we can see, the toString method has given a string representation of the array.
|
Before the line Arrays.toString, type
Arrays.sort(marks);
|
So before the line Arrays dot toString within brackets marks type Arrays dot sort(marks);
|
Save and run. Point to output | As we can see, the sort method has sorted the array.
|
Remove the line Arrays.sort and type
Arrays.fill(marks, 6); |
The fill method takes two arguments.
The first is the array to fill and the second is what should it be filled with.
|
Save and run. Point to output | As we can see, as the name goes, the fill method fills the array with the given argument.
|
Remove the Arrays.fill.. line and type
int marksCopy[]; |
We are going to copy all the elements of the array marks into the array marksCopy
|
In the next line, type
|
Type marksCopy = copyOf(marks, 5);
And the second is the no.of elements to copy.
|
Save and run. Point to output | Save and Run the program
We see that the elements of the array marks have been copied to the array marksCopy.
|
Change copyOf(marks, 5) to copyOf(marks, 3) | Let us see what happens if we change the no.of elements to be copied.
|
Save and run. Point to output | Save and Run the program
As we can see, only the first three elements have been copied.
|
Change copyOf(marks, 3) to copyOf(marks, 8)
|
Change 3 to 8
|
Change copyOf(marks, 8) to copyOfRange(marks, 1, 4) | Change copyOf to copyOfRange and 8 to 1, 4
|
Save and run. Point to output. | Save and Run the program
|
This behaviour ensures that continuity of ranges is maintained.
(4, 6) implies from index 4 to index 6
| |
Minimize the Eclipse window and switch to slides.
Summary |
We have come to the end of this tutorial.
In this tutorial we have learnt how to import the class Arrays. Perform array operations like sort and copy. |
