175. 'char' data type arrays

'char' data type array -

char defied arrays can store more than one character as shown in the below example -

Example -

char a[] = new char[4];

a[0] = 'a';
a[1] = 'r';
a[2] = 'u';
a[3] = 'n';

The above example represents a single dimensional char type array. We can also implement 2 dimensional, 3 dimensional arrays using the char data type. But in this post, I will only implement single dimensional char data type array.

Lets implement this on Eclipse IDE -

1. Launch Eclipse IDE, open Java Project 'Project Arrays' and create a new Java Class 'CharTypeArray' with main( ) method as shown below -

2. Write the below code to print the values stored in array elements as shown below -

3. Run the Java Class and observe that the 4 characters got printed in the output as shown below -

This is how we implement the char type arrays.

Lets implement the string type arrays in the next post.

'String' data type arrays will be explained in the next post.
