This is handy because it saves you from declaring a bunch of separate variables for related values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Declaring an Array<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To declare an array, you specify the variable type followed by square brackets. For instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre class=\"CodeMirror\" data-setting=\"{&quot;showPanel&quot;:true,&quot;languageLabel&quot;:&quot;language&quot;,&quot;fullScreenButton&quot;:true,&quot;copyButton&quot;:true,&quot;mode&quot;:&quot;htmlmixed&quot;,&quot;mime&quot;:&quot;text\/html&quot;,&quot;theme&quot;:&quot;material&quot;,&quot;lineNumbers&quot;:false,&quot;styleActiveLine&quot;:false,&quot;lineWrapping&quot;:false,&quot;readOnly&quot;:true,&quot;fileName&quot;:&quot;JAVA&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;HTML&quot;,&quot;maxHeight&quot;:&quot;400px&quot;,&quot;modeName&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}\">String[] motorcycles;<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This line of code declares a variable that holds an array of strings. To populate this array with values, you can use curly braces and list the values separated by commas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre class=\"CodeMirror\" data-setting=\"{&quot;showPanel&quot;:true,&quot;languageLabel&quot;:&quot;language&quot;,&quot;fullScreenButton&quot;:true,&quot;copyButton&quot;:true,&quot;mode&quot;:&quot;htmlmixed&quot;,&quot;mime&quot;:&quot;text\/html&quot;,&quot;theme&quot;:&quot;material&quot;,&quot;lineNumbers&quot;:false,&quot;styleActiveLine&quot;:false,&quot;lineWrapping&quot;:false,&quot;readOnly&quot;:true,&quot;fileName&quot;:&quot;JAVA&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;HTML&quot;,&quot;maxHeight&quot;:&quot;400px&quot;,&quot;modeName&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}\">String[] motorcycles = {&quot;Harley&quot;, &quot;Ducati&quot;, &quot;Yamaha&quot;, &quot;Kawasaki&quot;};<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to create an array of integers, it would look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre class=\"CodeMirror\" data-setting=\"{&quot;showPanel&quot;:true,&quot;languageLabel&quot;:&quot;language&quot;,&quot;fullScreenButton&quot;:true,&quot;copyButton&quot;:true,&quot;mode&quot;:&quot;htmlmixed&quot;,&quot;mime&quot;:&quot;text\/html&quot;,&quot;theme&quot;:&quot;material&quot;,&quot;lineNumbers&quot;:false,&quot;styleActiveLine&quot;:false,&quot;lineWrapping&quot;:false,&quot;readOnly&quot;:true,&quot;fileName&quot;:&quot;JAVA&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;HTML&quot;,&quot;maxHeight&quot;:&quot;400px&quot;,&quot;modeName&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}\">int[] engineCapacities = {600, 750, 1000, 1200};<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessing Array Elements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can access individual elements in an array by referring to their index number. For example, to access the first element in the <code>motorcycles<\/code> array:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre class=\"CodeMirror\" data-setting=\"{&quot;showPanel&quot;:true,&quot;languageLabel&quot;:&quot;language&quot;,&quot;fullScreenButton&quot;:true,&quot;copyButton&quot;:true,&quot;mode&quot;:&quot;htmlmixed&quot;,&quot;mime&quot;:&quot;text\/html&quot;,&quot;theme&quot;:&quot;material&quot;,&quot;lineNumbers&quot;:false,&quot;styleActiveLine&quot;:false,&quot;lineWrapping&quot;:false,&quot;readOnly&quot;:true,&quot;fileName&quot;:&quot;JAVA&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;HTML&quot;,&quot;maxHeight&quot;:&quot;400px&quot;,&quot;modeName&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}\">String[] motorcycles = {&quot;Harley&quot;, &quot;Ducati&quot;, &quot;Yamaha&quot;, &quot;Kawasaki&quot;};\nSystem.out.println(motorcycles[0]); \/\/ Outputs Harley<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Array indexes start at 0, so the first element is at index 0, the second element is at index 1, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modifying an Array Element<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To change the value of a specific element in an array, you refer to its index number. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre class=\"CodeMirror\" data-setting=\"{&quot;showPanel&quot;:true,&quot;languageLabel&quot;:&quot;language&quot;,&quot;fullScreenButton&quot;:true,&quot;copyButton&quot;:true,&quot;mode&quot;:&quot;htmlmixed&quot;,&quot;mime&quot;:&quot;text\/html&quot;,&quot;theme&quot;:&quot;material&quot;,&quot;lineNumbers&quot;:false,&quot;styleActiveLine&quot;:false,&quot;lineWrapping&quot;:false,&quot;readOnly&quot;:true,&quot;fileName&quot;:&quot;JAVA&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;HTML&quot;,&quot;maxHeight&quot;:&quot;400px&quot;,&quot;modeName&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}\">String[] motorcycles = {&quot;Harley&quot;, &quot;Ducati&quot;, &quot;Yamaha&quot;, &quot;Kawasaki&quot;};\nmotorcycles[0] = &quot;Suzuki&quot;;\nSystem.out.println(motorcycles[0]); \/\/ Now outputs Suzuki instead of Harley<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Determining the Length of an Array<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out how many elements an array contains, you can use the <code>length<\/code> property:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre class=\"CodeMirror\" data-setting=\"{&quot;showPanel&quot;:true,&quot;languageLabel&quot;:&quot;language&quot;,&quot;fullScreenButton&quot;:true,&quot;copyButton&quot;:true,&quot;mode&quot;:&quot;htmlmixed&quot;,&quot;mime&quot;:&quot;text\/html&quot;,&quot;theme&quot;:&quot;material&quot;,&quot;lineNumbers&quot;:false,&quot;styleActiveLine&quot;:false,&quot;lineWrapping&quot;:false,&quot;readOnly&quot;:true,&quot;fileName&quot;:&quot;JAVA&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;HTML&quot;,&quot;maxHeight&quot;:&quot;400px&quot;,&quot;modeName&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}\">String[] motorcycles = {&quot;Harley&quot;, &quot;Ducati&quot;, &quot;Yamaha&quot;, &quot;Kawasaki&quot;};\nSystem.out.println(motorcycles.length); \/\/ Outputs 4<\/pre><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Are Arrays?
