What is array? With example

Question

I know the meaning of array including concept but the example vice I m not good in that..plz anyone help to me

Answer 1

I made a cricket game a few days back, in which I had to store runs scored by 10 different batsmen.

I may have used :-

int playerOneScore = 28;
int playerTwoScore = 80;
blah blah lot of time waste.

I used :-

int[] playerScores = new int[10] ;

Well, thats it!!After this whenever one batsmen was out, his score got added to this array using a simple for loop.

This made easier for me to make scorecard.

Advantage :- Single object is created instead of 10, hence memory is saved, code is faster.

In case you want to look at that game, here it is :-

As you can see in line 50 and 51, two 2D arrays are declared.

Reason for 2 :- one for player, one for computer

Reason for 2D array :- I needed two coloumns, one for storing runs and one for balls.

Answer 2

ok fine see first of all array is a collection of data of same data type so like we want to store 1 to 5 numbers so then we will use an int type array like :int array[5]={1,2,3,4,5};
