- 8. Why?
- 9. Why? fish product1 Make a new variable called product1. Add fish information to it.
- 12. Why? fish product1 steak product2 lamb product3 How can I tell what is in my basket without directly referencing each variable name?
- 13. Why? fish product1 steak product2 lamb product3 How can I tell what is in my basket without directly referencing each variable name? I can’t (in a reasonable amount of code). For a basket of 200 products, calculating the total bill would take lots of code.
- 17. Why? fish steak lamb products 0 1 2
- 18. Why? fish steak lamb products 0 1 2 I can now write a short piece of code which looks at the first item in the list, then the second, third etc. until the end, and calculates the total bill. In this process only one variable is referenced. This is an array.
- 19. How? products 0 1 2 data type 3 ‘slots’ in memory
- 20. How? products 0 1 2 fish steak lamb name[index]
- 21. How? i is the index to the array array length
- 22. •When we declare a new array, we have to give it a fixed size. •This means that, aside from manually expanding the size of the array in memory, we cannot have a list which holds an arbitrary number of items. •To address this issue, we introduce array lists. •Array lists perform exactly the same operations as an array, but their syntax is different.

- 26. SUMMARY • Arrays allow us to store lists of related items so that we can access them more efficiently. • As Arrays are of a fixed size, we also rely on ArrayLists, the size of which can expand as necessary. • Although the syntax of an ArrayList is different, we can still carry out the same operations.
- 27. SUMMARY • This is the very bare bones of Arrays and ArrayLists. • For everything you need to know, you should consult the lecture notes, SGTs and labs.
