Array

Examples
int[] numbers = new int[3];

numbers[0] = 90;

numbers[1] = 150;

numbers[2] = 30;

int a = numbers[0] + numbers[1]; // Sets variable a to 240

int b = numbers[1] + numbers[2]; // Sets variable b to 180

int[] numbers = { 90, 150, 30 };

int a = numbers[0] + numbers[1]; // Sets variable a to 240

int b = numbers[1] + numbers[2]; // Sets variable b to 180

int degrees = 360;

float[] cos_vals = new float[degrees];

for(int i=0; i < degrees; i++) {

  cos_vals[i] = cos(TWO_PI/degrees * i);

}
Description An array is a list of data. It is possible to have an array of any type of data. Each piece of data in an array is identified by an index number representing its position in the array. The first element in the array is [0], the second element is [1], and so on. Arrays are similar to objects, so they must be created with the keyword new. Every array has a variable length which is an integer value for the total number of elements in the array. (People are often confused by the use of length() to get the size of a String and length to get the size of an array. Notice the absence of the parentheses when working with arrays.)
Syntax
datatype[] varvar[element] = valuevar.length
Parameters
datatype any primitive or compound datatype, including user defined classes
var any valid variable name
element int: must not exceed the length of the array - 1
value data to assign to the array element, must be the same datatype as the array
