They are stored in contiguous memory locations where each location is of the same type. We also saw how to declare, initialize, and process arrays. Both the traditional and enhanced for loops are ideal for processing arrays.
In addition, we discussed multi-dimensional arrays, including how they are organized and how to process them. Lastly, as arrays are very common, we discussed the Arrays class, which has several useful methods for processing arrays.
In this chapter, we will cover methods. Methods enable us to create a named block of code that can be executed from elsewhere in the code. Firstly, we will explain why methods ...
