First Data Structure Definition
A data structure is a data type whose
components are smaller data structures
and/or simple data types.
Data Structure Starting Point
Any data type that can store more than
one value is a data structure.
First Array Definition
An array is a data structure with one, or more,
elements of the same type.
A 1-dimensional array is frequently called a vector.
A 2-dimensional array is frequently called a matrix.
The array is the first historical data structure
which was introduced in the language FORTRAN.
Record Definition
A record is a data structure with one,
or more, elements, called fields, of the
same or different data types.
The language FORTRAN did NOT
have records which is why it
was NOT good for business.
COBOL (Common Business
Oriented Language) introduced
the record data structure.
A Note About Classes
A class is a record
that can also store methods.
File Definition
A file is an internal data structure - with an
unspecified number of elements of the same
type - assigned to an external file name.
The file data structure
allows transfer of data
between internal and
external storage.
Stack Definition
A stack is a data structure
with elements of the same
type.
Data elements of the stack
data structure can only be
accessed (stored or
retrieved) at one end of the
stack in a LIFO (Last In,
First Out) manner.
Improved Data Structure Definition
A data structure is a data type whose
components are smaller data structures
and/or simple data types.
The storing and retrieval of the data
elements is performed by accessing
methods that characterize the data
structure.
First Array Definition Again
An array is a data structure with one,
or more, elements of the same type.
Improved Array Definition
An array is a data structure with a fixed
number of elements of the same type.
Every element of the array can be
accessed directly.

Array Index Note
Java arrays indicate individual elements with
an index inside two brackets, following the
array identifier, like list[3]
The array index is always an integer and
starts at 0.
In an array of N elements, the largest index is
N-1.

Defining Static Arrays
int list[];
list = new int[10];
// declares the array list identifier
// allocates memory for 10 integers
char names[];
names = new char[25];
// declares the names array identifier
// allocates memory for 25 characters
double grades[];
// declares the grades array identifier
grades = new double[50]; // allocates memory for 50 doubles
Defining Static Arrays
Preferred Method
int list[ ] = new int[10];
char names[ ] = new char[25];
double grades[ ] = new double[50];
This is similar to what you
learned in Chapters 3 & 6.
Chapter This will work:
This is preferred:

x = 5;
int x = 5;

The static array requires a
memory block for 52 cards to
handle a full deck. Currently
only 4 cards are entered.

Important Note:
You just saw an example where a fundamental
question was raised.
Does the new for..each loop provide
the same output as the traditional index for loop?
Both loops do display the array elements, but the
indexed loop can be easily controlled to only include
those elements that reference a deeper value.
It is precisely in the asking of the what..if questions,
followed by some experimenting that students learn
the most about programming.
