Is array an object ?

Answer 1

Mohit Sharma Include relevant TAGS!!

An array, in the context of Java, is a dynamically-created object that serves as a container to hold constant number of values of the same type.

Answer 2

Mohit Sharma

• In Java, no variable can ever hold an object.
• A variable can only hold a reference to an object.

There is a special portion of memory called 》the heap《 where objects live.

Instead of holding an object itself, a variable holds the information necessary to find the object in memory. This information is called a reference or pointer to the object.

In effect, a reference to an object is the address of the memory location where the object is stored. When you use a variable of object type, the computer uses the reference in the variable to find the actual object.

Answer 6

In fact most of the collection types in Java which are the part of java.util package use arrays internally in their functioning. Since Arrays are objects, they are created during runtime. The array length is fixed.

David Carroll so much thank u sir

Answer 13

Mohit Sharma The protected members will remain protected and accessible by all sub classes in the inheritance hierarchy.

A sub class is able to explicitly increase the visibility of a protected member by overriding the member with a public accessor.

NOTE: The visibility of a member can only be increased, not decreased. So... a protected member would not be able to be overridden as private and, therefore, hidden from any of its child classes.

Answer 14

Is array an object in Java ?
Because an array in Java is created using keyword "new" which is also used to create objects of class..
That's I am confused...

Answer 15

Okay sir, if it is an object, then of which class??

Answer 16

Ohh sorry sir, I didn't know the rules.I will care about it.

Answer 17

One more question, If a protected member of a class gets inherited in its subclass, what would be its access modifier in sub claa? Will it still be protected or will it be changed to something else.?
