These tutorials will introduce you to Java programming language. You'll compile and run your very own Java application, using Sun's JDK. It's extremely easy to learn java programming skills, and in these parts, you'll learn how to write, compile, and run Java applications. Before you can develop corejava applications, you'll need to download the Java Development Kit (JDK).

Arrays
Arrays are generally effective means of storing groups of variables. An array is a group of variables that share the same name and are ordered sequentially from zero to one less than the number of variables in the array. The number of variables that can be stored in an array is called the array's dimension. Each variable in the array is called an element of the array.
Creating Arrays
There are three steps to creating an array, declaring it, allocating it and initializing it.
Declaring Arrays
Like other variables in Java, an array must have a specific type like byte, int, String or double. Only variables of the appropriate type can
be stored in an array. You cannot have an array that will store both ints and Strings, for instance.
Like all other variables in Java an array must be declared. When you declare an array variable you suffix the type with [] to
indicate that this variable is an array. Here are some examples:
int[] k;
float[] yt;
String[] names;
