00:02 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Introduction to Arrays. |
00:07 | In this tutorial, you will learn how to create arrays and access elements in arrays.
|
00:14 | For this tutorial we are using
|
00:25 | For this tutorial, you should have knowledge of data types and for loop in Java.
|
00:32 | If not, for relevant tutorial please visit our website which as shown. |
00:38 | Arrays are a collection of data.
|
00:40 | For example, a list of marks, a list of names, a list of temperatures, a list of rainfall,
|
00:47 | Each item has an index based on its position.
|
00:52 | The index of the first element is 0.
|
00:55 | The index of the second element is 1 and so on.
|
00:59 | Let us now see how to store this data.
|
01:03 | So switch to Eclipse. |
01:06 | A class named ArraysDemo has already been created.
|
01:11 | Within the main method, let us add the rainfall data. |
01:16 | So Inside main function, type
|
01:18 | int rainfall open and close brackets equal to within curly brackets type 25, 31, 29, 13, 27, 35, 12 and finally a semicolon.
|
01:53 | Note the square braces after the variable name rainfall.
|
01:58 | This declares rainfall as an array of integers.
|
02:03 | The braces are used to specify the elements of the array. |
02:09 | let us now access data. |
02:12 | So on the Next line, type
|
02:14 | System dot out dot println rainfall in square brackets type 2
|
02:28 | We are printing the element with the index number 2.
|
02:32 | In other words, the third element in the array i.e.29.
|
02:38 | Let us save run the program |
02:43 | As we can see, the output is the third element,i.e 29.
|
02:49 | Now let us type 0 in place of 2 |
02:56 | Save and run the program |
03:00 | As we can see, the output is the first value i.e 25
|
03:07 | Now let us modify the value of the first item |
03:13 | So type rainfall [0] = 11;
|
03:27 | Now let us see its value. So save and run the program
|
03:34 | As we can see, the value has been changed to 11. |
03:40 | Now what if we know only the size of the array and do not know the values. |
03:45 | Let us see how to create such array. |
03:49 | Remove everything in main function and type |
03:57 | int squares [] = new int [10]; |
04:19 | This statement creates an array of integers having 10 elements. The name of the array is squares. |
04:30 | Now let us add some values to it |
04:33 | So Type
|
04:35 | squares[0] = 1; |
04:43 | Next linesquares[1] = 4; |
04:53 | Next linesquares[2] = 9; |
05:04 | squares[3] = 16;
|
05:15 | So We have entered the squares of first four numbers. |
05:20 | Now what about the other elements of the array. Let us see what they contain. |
05:26 | So We shall print the sixth value in the array.
|
05:30 | Type System.out.println(squares [5]);
|
05:56 | Save and run the program.We see that the value is zero. |
06:05 | This is because when we create an array of integers, all the values are initialized to 0. |
06:11 | Similarly an array of floats will have all its values initialized to 0.0.
|
06:18 | It would be a long process if we have to type each value into the array. Instead, let us use a for loop. |
06:28 | So Type
for(x = 4; x < 10; x = x + 1){ n = x + 1; squares [x] = n * n; }
|
07:25 | So We iterate over numbers from 4 to 9 and set the corresponding element in the array.
|
07:36 | Now let us see the output. |
07:38 | As we can see, we are printing the value of sixth element in array SoSave and run. |
07:52 | We see the sixth element is now square of 6, which is 36.
|
07:57 | In fact now we can set all the values inside the for loop. |
08:03 | Remove the lines that set the values manually and change 4 to 0
|
08:14 | This way all the elements from index 0 to 9 are set to the corresponding squares.
|
08:21 | We shall now see the value of the third element.
|
08:25 | So change 5 to 2
|
08:30 | Save and run
|
08:35 | As we can see, the value of the third element has been set in the loop and it is 9. |
08:42 | This way, arrays can be created and used. |
08:50 | We have come to the end of this tutorial. |
08:53 | In this tutorial we have learnt |
08:55 | TO declare and initialize the array , |
08:58 | And access element in an array |
09:01 | The assignment for this tutorial is,
|
09:04 | Given an array of integers, find the sum of all the elements in the array. |
