Java String Array Example.
This Java String Array example how to create and use String array or array of Strings in Java.

/*
* Java String array can be created in below given ways.
*/
/*
* Declare and initialize String array in single statement as given below.
* This method is particularly useful when we are dealing with very small size array.
*/
String[] myFirstStringArray = new String[]{"String 1", "String 2", "String 3"};
/*
* Declaration and assignment can be done separately as given below.
*/
//first declare String array
String[] mySecondStringArray = new String[3];
//Observe that giving size is mandatory here. While there was no size given in the first method.
//Now Assign individual String array elements
mySecondStringArray[0] = "String 1";
mySecondStringArray[1] = "String 2";
mySecondStringArray[2] = "String 3";
//Note that, like every other arrays, String array starts with index 0 and not index 1.
/*
* Retrieve values from String Array: *
* String array elements can be retrieved by directly accessing using index. You may also iterate
* String array using loop.
*/
//this will retrieve second element of first String array
System.out.println(myFirstStringArray[1]);
//iterate the String array using loop
for(int i=0; i < mySecondStringArray.length; i++){
System.out.println(mySecondStringArray[i]);
}
}
}
/*
Output of the above Java String Array Example program would be
String 2
String 1
String 2
String 3
