An array is to be created in java and elements will be stored in it. After successful insertion, all the elements of the array are printed present in the array.

Arrays are used to store multiple values in a single variable, instead of declaring separate variables for each value. Users can access the elements simply by referring to the index number of the first element inserted. It is because of the traits of this data structure consisting of a group of like-typed variables in sequential order in the memory.that are referred to by a common name element by referring to the index number. In java, arrays do work differently as they do work in C/C++.

• In Java, all arrays are dynamically allocated.
• Since arrays are objects in Java, user can find their length using the object property length. This is different from C/C++ where length  is calculated using function sizeof()
• A Java array variable can also be declared like other variables with [] after the data type.
• The variables in the array are ordered and each has an index beginning from 0.
• Java array can be also be used as a static field, a local variable, or a method parameter.
• The size of an array must be specified by an int value and not long or short.
• The direct superclass of an array type is Object.
• Every array type implements the interfaces Cloneable and java.io.Serializable.

Examples:

array_mame = {2 , 7 , 4 , 1 , 4}
Output: 2 7 4 1 4

array_name = {2 , 7, -1 , 6 , -3}
Output: 2 7 -1 6 -3

Approaches:

• Using loops
• Using standard library arrays

Approach 1: Printing elements of an array using loops

Algorithm:

1.  Declare and initialize an array
2. Loop through the array by incrementing the value of the iterative variable/s
3. Print out each element of the array

Implementation:

Below is the java example illustrating printing elements of an array

Output :

Elements of given array are: -7 -5 5 10 0 3 20 25 12 

Time Complexity: O(n) Here other no major execution is taking place except just the cell memory taken by variables that even get destroyed as the scope is over. Whenever there is iteration just by using one loop time taken is of the order of n always. If nested then the order of number of loops that are nested

Space Complexity: O(n) As whatever loop is used considering the worst case where the complete array is filled up, so it takes up simply the space taken by the array in memory.

Approach 2: Printing elements of an array using standard library arrays

Algorithm:

1. Declare and initialize an array
2. Use Arrays.toString() function inside the print statement to print array 
    

Implementation:

Java Program to print the elements of an array using standard library arrays:

Output :

Elements of given array are: [-7, -5, 5, 10, 0, 3, 20, 25, 12]

Time Complexity: O(n)

Space Complexity: O(n)
