2. Arrays • Container object • Fixed length • Composed of elements of a single type • Sorted by numerical indices starting with 0 • Part of core java programming • Primitives or objects

3. Arrays • Storing and organization of values • Declaration: • int[] myArray= new int[3]; • myArray[0] = 5; • myArray[1] = 10; • myArray[2] = 15; • Searching, Copying, Comparing

4. Arrays 1 4 0 2 3

5. Array List • Adjustable size • Adjustment takes time • Element of different types • Cannot store primitives • Collections Framework
