An array is a way of placing values into an indexed list. Let's say you have a bunch of names you need to store in your program. You can create a variable for each name(name1 = "Bob", name2 ="Rick" etc.. which is a lot of variables to deal with or you can simplify it by putting them in an array. String[] names = new String[number of names]; Each name you add will index starting at 0 all the way to the max number you set. Can easily cycle through them all with a for loop for easy printing or just make changes without accessing a different variable each time

lets say you wanted to calculate the average score for a test. Instead of making a variable for each student, you could make an array with one variable to hold all the test scores. you can then loop through the array adding all the values. divide by the length of the array. bam average score on test.
