* As for fields: 0 for numbers, false for booleans, null for objects. The elements get default values even if an array is a local variable. You can think of an array’s elements as sort of like its “fields.” * Nothing new here: this is true for any object. * If you try to use an unititialized array, (for example, arr.length or arr[k]), you will get a NullPointerException. The second initialization form (for gasPrices) is not in the AP subset. * As opposed to String, where length() is a method. * It is important to understand this two-step process for initializing an array of objects: first you create the array object as a whole; then you initialize each element. * This example shows three ways to initialize an array element: set it to a constant, create it with new, or get it from a method call. * So a void method can do all kinds of things to an array passed to it as a parameter. * It is helpful to think of someType[] as a data type designation, “array of someType elements.” * Since any type of reference can be set to null, it is legal to return null from a method that is supposed to return an array. This means the array has not been created in the method (not to be confused with an array that has been created but whose elements are set to null). Again, the form with a list of values in braces {...}, called “anonymous initialized array,” is not in the AP subset. * It is helpful to think of someType[] as a data type designation, “array of someType elements.” 第7章 Arrays 数组Array An array is a block of consecutive memory locations that hold values of the same data type. Individual locations are called array’s elements. When we say “element” we often mean the value stored in that element. 1.39 1.69 1.74 0.0 An array of doubles 数组 Array (cont’d) Rather than treating each element as a separate named variable, the whole array gets one name. Specific array elements are referred to by using array’s name and the element’s number, called inde
