Yes, you can use array-elements as parameters. Do you have any problem with that?
You can pass array elements just as you would pass a named variable. void f(int& x) {/*...*/} int main() { int a[] {4,8,15,16,23,42}; f (a[3]); // pass the 4th element to f... }
Array lists are objects and are of the reference data types. If you pass an array list from a java method to another as an argument, you need not return this from the target method because the modifications to the list would be happening in its value and hence would be available in the parent or calling method without being received as an output from the called method.
An array is still an array, regardless of how you pass it into functions. It is still an array-type variable at the beginning of a function. However, the function itself may manipulate the array by "imploding" it into a string with a delimiter, using array values with only specific keys, and such.
It is better to do this when the function needs to work on the entire array, rather than on individual elements. However, do not pass the array by value; always pass by reference.
Actually speaking - Nothing. The Java program will start running. The args is just an optional parameter and you can pass it if you want and ignore it if you dont want to pass any runtime arguments
In some programming languages, like C, you can pass the new method (or function) an address pointer to the first element in the array. As long as you don't leave the scope of the method the array was created in, the array will remain valid. In other languages that don't support memory addresses, like FORTRAN, it must be done by making the array global.
Yes. Since passing arrays is a special use of call by reference, simply pass the address of the sub array instead of the primary array. int a[10] = { ... }; myfunction (a); // pass the first element's address myfunction (&(a[3]); // pass the fourth element's address
the simple and efficient way to pass an array is pointer to an array like that int (*p)[30] ; // pointer to an array of integer having 30 element
In C++ you would pass a std::array if the array is fixed-length, otherwise you'd use a std::vector. Most object oriented languages will provide some method of passing a self-contained array object to a function. In C and other non-object oriented languages you would pass a reference or pointer to the start address of the array along with a variable indicating the number of valid elements within the array. The array type will determine the size of each element.
You can pass array elements just as you would pass a named variable. void f(int& x) {/*...*/} int main() { int a[] {4,8,15,16,23,42}; f (a[3]); // pass the 4th element to f... }
Arrays are passed as arguments to method parameters. To pass a string array from one activity to another the code is [] stringArray = intent.getStringArrayExtra("string-array");.

The same way you pass any other argument. int[] integerArray = new int[] {5,4,3,2,1}; // Pass our integerArray to the Arrays.sort method Arrays.sort(integerArray);

An array never behaves like a pointer.Understand that a pointer is a variable -- no different to any other variable, other than its type. like any other variable, it is allocated its own memory (4 bytes in a 32-bit system). Those 4 bytes can store any 32-bit value, from 0x00000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF, but because it is declared to be a pointer, that value actually represents a memory location, somewhere within the 4GB address space. 0x00000000 is a reserved memory location -- what we refer to as NULL.An array is not the same as a pointer in any sense. The array name refers to the actual memory (the starting address) where the array resides. But the array name is not a variable -- unlike a pointer, it is not separate from the memory it refers to -- it is merely an alias that refers to the memory allocated to the array itself.That said, pointers and arrays can appear to be the same. For instance, the strlen() function expects you to pass a const char pointer, and yet you can pass an array name instead and it works just fine:char cArray[12];char * p = cArray;strlen( p ); // Pass a pointerstrlen( &cArray[0] ); // Pass pointer to array element via AddressOf operatorstrlen( cArray ); // Pass an array nameAll three of these functions work exactly the same so it would be easy to assume the array is a type of pointer. But it is not. To understand what's really going on here you have to understand how pointers and arrays are actually passed to function.When you pass a pointer to a function, you don't pass the pointer itself, you pass the memory address stored in the memory allocated to the pointer. In other words, pointers are passed by value, not by reference. Similarly, when you pass an array name, you pass the starting address of the array.That's all there is to it! The function's parameter, a pointer, is allocated its own memory. It is a temporary variable, local to the function. All it expects is a memory location so whether you pass a pointer or an array name, that's exactly what it receives.
