length is the property of every array in Java

Posted by Kishori Sharan on December 10, 2000 at 8:06 PM

int[] a = new int[10] ;

Here a is the array . If you want to know the length of the array just use its property length ( a.length ) which will return an int.
System.out.println ( "Length of array a is " + a.length ) ;
