Java arrays allow storing multiple elements of the same type in contiguous memory locations. Arrays can have one or more dimensions. Some key points about Java arrays include:
- Elements are accessed via an integer index from 0 to length-1.
- Arrays have a fixed size set at creation time.
- Common operations include initialization, traversal, passing to methods, and returning from methods.
- Exceptions like ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException may occur if invalid indexes are used.
