Study Notes
Java Array Concepts
- Array Element Access: In Java, you can access individual elements in an array using their index. For example,
numbers[2]refers to the third element in thenumbersarray, which has a value of 15. - Array Initialization: Use curly braces (
{}) to initialize arrays with values during declaration. - Array Length: The
lengthproperty provides the number of elements in an array. - Out-of-Bounds Error: Accessing an array element with an index outside of the valid range (0 to length - 1) results in an
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. - Addressing in Arrays: The address of an element in an array is calculated as:
Base Address + (Index * Element Size). - Multidimensional Arrays: Representing a 2D array for a cinema seating arrangement could store seating details like seat availability, ticket prices, or age of the occupant at each seat.
- Array Advantages: Arrays are well-suited for matrix operations due to their contiguous memory storage, which enhances cache performance.
Linked Lists:
- Singly Linked Lists: Nodes with data and a pointer to the next node. Good for simple insertions and deletions at the head or tail.
- Doubly Linked Lists: Nodes with data and pointers to both the previous and next nodes. Efficient for insertions and deletions anywhere in the list.
- Circular Linked Lists: The last node's pointer points back to the first node. Useful in scenarios like round-robin scheduling, where you need to cycle through elements continuously.
Example Scenarios:
- Scenario 1: Using a linked list instead of an array for student records is helpful because you can insert at the middle of the list without shifting elements. Arrays require shifting elements during middle insertions.
- Scenario 2: If you're working with a circular doubly linked list, the ability to efficiently traverse both backward and forward is a significant advantage over singly linked lists.
