How to Search an Element in Java Array with Example? ArrayUtils Tutorial

find an index of the object in Array

While programming in Java, many times we need to check if a String array contains a particular String or an integer array contains a number or not. Though array is an object in Java but it does not provide any convenient method to perform searching elements or finding elements. Sometimes you even need an index of an item stored in Array, unfortunately, Java API does not provide any direct method. Thanks to Open Source Apache Commons provides a utility class called ArrayUtils which allows you to check for an Item in Array, find its index in the array, find its lastIndex in Array and perform several other common operations.

[Solved] How to solve a coin change problem in Java? Example

The coin change problem is one of the popular coding interview question and knowing how to solve this problem can help you during coding interview. It's also useful to learn a couple of tricks and data structure. This problem somewhat has to do with arrays, so we shall be discussing what an array is, But before we dive into this. we need to understand the problem. We are about to solve a coin problem by determining how many possible ways an amount can be paid. Suppose, Mary is a Businesswoman who deals with coin change.

[Solved] How to find all pairs which add up to a given value in an Integer Array in Java? Example

Hello guys, if you are preparing for programming job interview then you know that the problem of finding all pairs which adds up to a given value in a give array is a popular array based coding question. This question is also known as Two sum problem because you need to find pair of two elements in the array whose sum is equal to given number. For example, you have given an array of integers with values {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and you need to find all the pairs whose sum is equal to 5. In this case, there are two such pairs (1, 4) and (2, 3) so your program needs to print them into console.

[Solved] How to Find 2 Largest Number from Integer Array in Java with Example

Hello guys, I have been sharing a lot of Programming interview questions and coding problems to learn programming better which is appreciated by you guys. In this post, I have come with other simple programming problems for Java beginners. I love to share short programming problems because they help in developing programming sense. Many people will argue against simple problems like prime numbers, palindrome, and factorial, but I really find them useful, especially for beginners. A beginner is far away to solve a complex data structure problem or even more complex problems like those that appear in TopCoder or other programming sites. Programmers learn gradually and they need the joy of doing something and seeing results much quicker than any other. Small success motivates them.

How to calculate sum of all numbers in a given array in Java [Example]

How to get the first and last item in an array in Java? Example Tutorial

Firstly, before going about finding the first and the last item of an array in java. We need to fully understand what an array is and how it works. What then is an Array? An array is a data structure in java that holds values of the same type with its length specified right from creation time. Think of a container, like a crate of eggs or coke. What I am trying to say is that when you are creating your array, the items coming in must be the same as you have specified as length and you must specify how many items are coming. If you have stated that the items coming are integers, so it is and no other data type (e.g string, char e.t.c) can be there and vice versa. Or you can say an array is a collection of similar type of elements which has contiguous memory location.

Difference between array and Hashtable or HashMap in Java

A couple of days back someone asked me about the difference between an array and a hashtable, though this is a generic data structure and programming question, I'll answer it from both a general programming perspective as well on Java perspective where Hashtable is not just a data structure but also a class from Java Collection API. Even though both array and hashtable data structure are intended for fast search i.e. constant time search operation also known as O(1) search, the fundamental difference between them is that array require an index while hash table requires a key which could be another object.

10 Examples of an Array in Java

Along with the String, the array is the most used data structure in Java. In fact, String is also backed by a character array in Java and other programming languages. It's very important for a Java programmer to have good knowledge of array and how to do common things with array e.g. initialization, searching, sorting, printing array in a meaningful way, comparing array, converting an array to String or ArrayList, and doing some advanced slicing and dicing operation with an array in Java. Like my previous tutorials 10 examples of HashMap in Java, I'll show you some practical examples of an array in Java. If you think, any important operation is not included, you can suggest their examples and I'll add them to this list.

10 Examples of Array Data Structure in Java

Without any doubt, the array is one of the most used data structures in all programming languages, including Java. Pick up any programming language be it functional, object-oriented, imperative, or even scripting languages like Python, Bash, and Perl, you will always find an array. That's why it's important for any programmer to have a good understanding of the array data structure. Like any other data structure, the array also provides a way to organize and store objects, but the way it does makes all the difference. An array is used to store elements in the contiguous memory location and many C, C++ programmers can take advantage of a pointer to work with an array.

How to create a String or int Array in Java? Example Tutorial

There are several ways to create an array in Java, for example, you can declare the array without initializing it, or you can create and initialize the array in the same line. If you want to make an array with values, then you need to first decide which type of array you want to create? e.g., do you want a String array, which can contain String objects like "abc," "def," or do you want to create an int array that contains int values like 10, 20, etc. In Java, you can create an array of any type, including primitives like byte, int, long, and objects like String, Integer, and other user-defined objects. Let's some code to make a new array in Java.

How to check If two Strings Array are equal in Java? Example Tutorial

Hello guys, if you are wondering how to check if two given String array are equal, I mean they contain same number of elements with same values and looking for solution then you have come to the right place. In the past, I have shared several coding questions on different data structures like linked list, binary tree, string, and even system design and today, we shall be working with arrays, Oh arrays are so pretty! And it’s very simple to learn. Having understood the concept of arrays the goal is to be able to check if two String arrays are equivalent.

How to solve Two Sum Array Problem in Java? Example

Hello guys, if you have been solving data structure and algorithms problems or been through a couple of coding interviews then you might be familiar with the classical "Two Sum" problem. It's one of the classical coding problems of finding two numbers in a given array whose sum is equal to a given target number. It's a good problem to learn how array data structure works and programming basics like loops, conditionals, and operators. It's also good for developing your problem-solving skills and coding sense, which will help you in the long run. This is also a popular Leetcode problem and is commonly asked in coding interviews to both beginners and intermediate programmers.

How to sort an Array in descending order in Java? Example Tutorial

Sorting an array is one of the common tasks in Programming and you have many algorithms to sort an array, like QuickSort, MergeSort which provides O(NLogN) time performance, and Bucket Sort, Counting Sort, and Radix Sort algorithms which can even sort some array in O(N) time. But, you hardly need to code these algorithms by hand when it comes to writing real code. The Programming language you will use already has tried and tested implementation for those algorithms and that's what you will learn in this article. In Java Programming language, it's easy to sort an array, you just need to call the Arrays.sort() method with a Comparator which can sort the array in the order you want but it highly depends upon which type of object is stored in the array.

How to remove a number from an Integer Array in Java? [Example Tutorial]

Hello guys, In the last article, you have learned how to reverse an array in place in Java, and today I have come back with another array-based coding interview question. It's also one of the frequently asked coding questions, not as popular as the previous one but still has been asked a lot of times on various Programming Job interviews, particularly to beginners. In this problem, you are asked to write a program to remove a given number from the given array. It may seem easy, but the trick is that because an array is a fixed data structure and you cannot change the length of the array once created.

How Binary Search Algorithm Works? Java Example without Recursion

The binary search algorithm is one of the fundamental Computer Science Algorithms and is used to search an element in a sorted input set. It's much faster than the linear search which scans each and every element and improves performance from O(n) to O(logN) for searching an element in the array. In order to perform the binary search, you need a sorted array, so you can either ask the user to enter the array in sorted order or you should sort the array before performing the binary search. It's also one of the popular algorithms for Programming Job interviews. The interviewer often asks candidates to implement binary search algorithms by hand in their favorite programming languages like Java, C++, Python. or JavaScript.

How to declare and Initialize two dimensional Array in Java with Example

An array of more than one dimension is known as a multi-dimensional array. Two of the most common examples of multi-dimensional arrays are two and three-dimensional arrays, known as 2D and 3D arrays, anything above is rare. I have never seen 4-dimensional arrays, even 3D arrays are not that common. Now the question comes when to use a multi-dimensional array? Any real-life example? Well, 2D arrays are very common on platform games like Super Mario Bros to represent screen or terrain; 2D arrays can also be used to represent structures like a spreadsheet, or to draw board games like Chess, which requires an 8x8 board, Checkers and Tic-Tac-Toe, which requires 3 rows and 3 columns.

How to compare two Arrays in Java to check if they are equal - [String & Integer Array Example]

Hello guys, one of the common Programming, the day-to-date task is to compare two arrays in Java and see if they are equal to each other or not. Of course, you can't compare a String array to an int array, which means two arrays are said to be equal if they are of the same type, has the same length, contains the same elements, and in the same order. Now, you can write your own method for checking array equality or take advantage of Java's rich Collection API. Similar to what you have seen while printing array values in Java, java.util.Arrays class provides convenient methods for comparing array values.

How to Convert or Print Array to String in Java? Example Tutorial

Array and String are very closely related, not just because String is a character array in most of the programming language but also with popularity - they are two of the most important data structure for programmers. Many times we need to convert an array to String or create an array from String, but unfortunately, there is no direct way of doing this in Java. Though you can convert an array to String by simply calling their toString() method, you will not get any meaningful value. If you convert an Integer array to a String, you will get something like I@4fee225 due to the default implementation of the toString() method from the java.lang.Object class. Here, I show the type of the array and content after @ is hash code value in hexadecimal.
