ARRAYS: •object that stores values of same type
>elements: values in the array (initial "zero-equivalent" values)
>index[0..n]: to access elements
>n: length-1
------------------------------------------
| • type[] array_name = new type[length]; |
| • type[] array_name = {v1, v2, ...}; |
------------------------------------------
•Access element: array_name[index]
•Modify element: array_name[index]=value;
•length: array_name.length
•arrays are printed with for loops
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

♦Arrays class (java.util package):
>array methods:
•Arrays.binarySearch(array, value): index of value in a sorted array (<0 if not
found)
•Arrays.copyOf(array, length): copy of array
•Arrays.equals(array1, array2): check elements of arrays -> true: same order of
elements
•Arrays.fill(array, value): fill all elements with given value
•Arrays.sort(array): arrange elements in ascending order
•Arrays.toString(array): convert array to string "[v1, v2, v3]"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARRAYS OF ARRAYS:
♦2-Dimentional Arrays(Matrix):
----------------------------------------------------
| • type[][] array_name = new type[rows][columns]; |
| • type[][] array_name = { |
| {v00, v01, v02 ... } |
| {v10, v11, v12 ... } |
| {v20, v21, v22 ... } |
| } |
----------------------------------------------------
•Access element: array_name[i][j]
•all arrays don't have to be of same length.
•not required to define all arrays.
•length:
>number of arrays: array_name.length
>number of elements of i'th array: array_name[i].length
♦MultiDimentional Arrays:
---------------------------------------------------
| • type[][][].. array_name = new type[x][y][z]..; |
---------------------------------------------------
>same features of 2-dimentional arrays.
