How is Array stored in Memory in Java?
- In Java, Memory representation is similar to C/C++.
- In Java, arrays are objects, and the elements are stored as consecutive memory locations.
- Java abstracts memory management, so we don’t need to worry about pointer arithmetic.
- The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) takes care of memory management.
Java
int arr[ 5 ] = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 }; // Memory representation is same for c/c++: // | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |
How Array is stored in different programming languages?
The memory representation of an array mainly depends on various programming languages like C, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, and PHP. So we look at how an array is stored in several popular programming languages :
