    Study Notes

    Array Concepts

    • Array declaration and initialization:
      • int[] arr1 = {1, 2, 3}; declares and initializes array with values.
      • int[] arr2 = new int[]; declares an array but doesn't initialize it.
      • arr2 = arr1; assigns reference of arr1 to arr2, making them reference the same array.
      • arr2 = 10; causes a runtime error as it attempts to assign an integer value to a reference.
    • Error in array initialization:
      • Int[] numbers = new int; causes a compilation error as it doesn't specify the size of the array.
      • char letters[] = new char; causes a compilation error, similar to the previous point.
      • String[] names = new String; causes a compilation error, similar to the previous point.
    • Accessing array elements:
      • System.out.println(arr[arr.length - 1]); prints the last element of the array, as arr.length gives the size of the array.
    • ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException:
      • Accessing an element beyond the array bounds (index out of range) throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
      • System.out.println(fruits[fruits.length]); will throw this error as the valid index goes from 0 to fruits.length - 1.
    • Address calculation in 1D array:
      • Address of an element: Base Address + (Index * Element Size). Incorrect formula given: Base Address + (Index + 1) * Element Size is incorrect and will calculate the wrong address.
    • 2D Arrays:
      • Used to represent matrices or tables with rows and columns.
      • int seats[][] = new int[][]; declares a 2D array but doesn't initialize it.

    Array Applications

    • Efficient storage and retrieval:
      • Arrays, stored contiguously in memory, improve cache performance for matrix operations in scientific computing compared to other data structures.
    • Representing real-world scenarios:
      • They are used in implementing matrices, seating arrangements in cinemas, and other data structures.
