 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Introduction Arrays -Data structures -Related data items of same type -Remain same size once created Fixed-length entries

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Arrays Arrays -Group of variables Have same type -Reference type

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 7 Fig. 8.1 | A 12-element array.

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Arrays (Cont.) Index -Position number in square brackets -Must be positive integer or integer expression -First element has index zero a = 5; b = 6; c[ a + b ] += 2; Adds 2 to c[ 11 ] Examine array c - c is the array name - c.Length accesses array c ’s length - c has 12 elements ( c[0], c[1], … c[11] )

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Declaring and Creating Arrays Declaring and creating arrays -Arrays are objects that occupy memory -Created dynamically with keyword new int c[] = new int[ 12 ]; -Equivalent to int c[]; // declare array variable c = new int[ 12 ]; // create array We can create arrays of objects too string b[] = new string[ 100 ];

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 10 Common Programming Error 8.1 In an array declaration, specifying the number of elements in the square brackets of the declaration (e.g., int[ 12 ] c; ) is a syntax error.

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11 Good Programming Practice 8.1 For readability, declare only one variable per declaration. Keep each declaration on a separate line and include a comment describing the variable being declared.

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Examples Using Arrays Declaring arrays Creating arrays Initializing arrays Manipulating array elements Creating and initializing an array -Declare array -Create array -Initialize array elements

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 13 Outline InitArray.cs Declare array as an array of int s Create 10 int s for array ; each int is initialized to 0 by default array.Length returns length of array array[counter] returns int associated with index in array Each int is initialized to 0 by default

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Examples Using Arrays (Cont.) Using an array initializer -Use initializer list Items enclosed in braces ( {} ) Items in list separated by commas int n[] = { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 }; -Creates a five-element array -Index values of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 -Do not need keyword new

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 15 Outline InitArray.cs Declare array as an array of int s Compiler uses initializer list to allocate array

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 16 Good Programming Practice 8.2 Constants also are called named constants. Such variables often make applications more readable than applications that use literal values (e.g., 10 )—a named constant such as ARRAY_LENGTH clearly indicates its purpose, whereas a literal value could have different meanings based on the context in which it is used. Another advantage to using named constants is that if the value of the constant must be changed, it is necessary to change it only in the declaration, thus reducing the cost of maintaining the code.

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Examples Using Arrays (Cont.) Calculating a value to store in each array element (Fig. 8.4) -Initialize elements of 10-element array to even integers Summing the elements of an array (Fig. 8.5) -Array elements can represent a series of values We can sum these values -Use a variable to add these values when iterating through them

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 21 Common Programming Error 8.2 Assigning a value to a named constant after it has been initialized is a compilation error.

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 22 Common Programming Error 8.3 Attempting to declare a named constant without initializing it is a compilation error.

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 30 Error-Prevention Tip 8.1 An exception indicates that an error has occurred in an application. You often can write code to recover from an exception and continue application execution, rather than abnormally terminating the application. Exception handling is discussed in Chapter 12.

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 31 Error-Prevention Tip 8.2 When writing code to loop through an array, ensure that the array index remains greater than or equal to 0 and less than the length of the array. The loop-continuation condition should prevent the accessing of elements outside this range.

All rights reserved Passing Arrays by Value and by Reference Pass-by-Reference -Caller gives called method direct access to caller’s data -Called method can manipulate this data -Improved performance over pass-by-value -Using ref allows the method to change the variable itself

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 45 Performance Tip 8.1 Passing arrays and other objects by reference makes sense for performance reasons. If arrays were passed by value, a copy of each element would be passed. For large, frequently passed arrays, this would waste time and would consume considerable storage for the copies of the arrays— both of these problems cause poor performance.

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 51 Software Engineering Observation 8.1 When a method receives a reference-type parameter by value, a copy of the object’s reference is passed. This prevents a method from overwriting references passed to that method. In the vast majority of cases, protecting the caller’s reference from modification is the desired behavior. If you encounter a situation where you truly want the called procedure to modify the caller’s reference, pass the reference-type parameter using keyword ref — but, again, such situations are rare.

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 52 Software Engineering Observation 8.2 In C#, objects (including arrays) are passed by reference by default. So, a called method receiving a reference to an object in a caller can change the caller’s object.

 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 62 Software Engineering Observation 8.3 A test harness (or test application) is responsible for creating an object of the class being tested and providing it with data. This data could come from any of several sources. Test data can be placed directly into an array with an array initializer, it can come from the user at the keyboard, it can come from a file (as you will see in Chapter 18) or it can come from a network (as you will see in Chapter 23). After passing this data to the class’s constructor to instantiate the object, the test harness should call the object to test its methods and manipulate its data. Gathering data in the test harness like this allows the class to manipulate data from several sources.
