Study Notes

Array Concepts

Array Declaration and Initialization: An array is declared using the data type[] arrayName syntax. Example: int[] myArray = {1, 2, 3};
Array Element Access: Individual elements in an array are accessed using their index, starting from 0. Example: myArray[0] refers to the first element (value 1 in this case).
Array Size: The length property of an array returns the number of elements in the array.
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: This exception occurs when you try to access an element outside the valid index range of the array. Example: myArray[3] would throw an exception as the array only has 3 elements.

Array Addressing and Computation

Base Address: This is the memory address of the start of the array.
Element Size: The number of bytes each element occupies in memory.
Address Calculation: The address of an element is calculated using the formula: Address = Base Address + (Index * Element Size)

Two-Dimensional Arrays

Representation: Two-dimensional arrays are often used to represent tables or matrices. They consist of rows and columns.
Element Access: Elements in a 2D array are accessed using two indices: the row index and the column index. Example: myArray[2][3] refers to the element at the third row and fourth column.

Array Operations

Matrix Operations: Arrays are commonly used to implement matrix operations in scientific computing because they provide contiguous memory storage, enhancing cache performance.
