Learn Java - Arrays and ArrayLists Cheatsheet - Codecademy PDF

Arrays and ArrayLists are used to store multiple elements in Java. Arrays have a fixed size, while ArrayLists are dynamic. An index refers to an element's position, starting from 0. Arrays are created using {} or the new keyword. ArrayLists allow adding and removing elements using methods like add() and remove().

Arrays and ArrayLists


TOPICS

Index
An index refers to an element’s position within an array.
The index of an array starts from 0 and goes up to one less than the total length of the array.

int[] marks = {50, 55, 60, 70, 80};

System.out.println(marks[0]);
// Output: 50

System.out.println(marks[4]);
// Output: 80

Arrays
In Java, an array is used to store a list of elements of the same datatype.
Arrays are fixed in size and their elements are ordered.

// Create an array of 5 int elements


int[] marks = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};

Array creation in Java


In Java, an array can be created in the following ways:

● Using the {} notation, by adding each element all at once.


● Using the new keyword, and assigning each position of the array individually.

int[] age = {20, 21, 30};

int[] marks = new int[3];


marks[0] = 50;
marks[1] = 70;
marks[2] = 93;

Java ArrayList
In Java, an ArrayList is used to represent a dynamic list.
While Java arrays are fixed in size (the size cannot be modified), an ArrayList allows flexibility by being able to both add and
remove elements.

// import the ArrayList package


import java.util.ArrayList;

// create an ArrayList called students


ArrayList<String> students = new ArrayList<String>();

Modifying ArrayLists in Java


An ArrayList can easily be modified using built in methods.
To add elements to an ArrayList , you use the add() method. The element that you want to add goes inside of the () .
To remove elements from an ArrayList , you use the remove() method. Inside the () you can specify the index of the element that
you want to remove. Alternatively, you can specify directly the element that you want to remove.

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class Students {


public static void main(String[] args) {

// create an ArrayList called studentList, which initially holds []


ArrayList<String> studentList = new ArrayList<String>();

// add students to the ArrayList


studentList.add("John");
studentList.add("Lily");
studentList.add("Samantha");
studentList.add("Tony");

// remove John from the ArrayList, then Lily


studentList.remove(0);
studentList.remove("Lily");

// studentList now holds [Samantha, Tony]

System.out.println(studentList);
}
}
