How to define String Array of Specific Size in Java

Java Define String Array of Specific Size

To define String array of specific size in Java, declare a string array and assign a new String array object to it with the size specified in the square brackets.

The syntax to define String Array of specific size is

String arrayName[] = new String[size];
//or
String[] arrayName = new String[size];

where arrayName is the String array name and size is the number of elements that we would like to store in the String array.

Example

In the following program, we will define a string array fruits with size of four. After defining the string array, we can initialize individual elements of the array using index.

Java Program

public class Example {
	public static void main(String[] args){
		String fruits[] = new String[4];

		fruits[0] = "apple";
		fruits[1] = "banana";
		fruits[2] = "mango";
		fruits[3] = "orange";
		
		for(String fruit: fruits) {
			System.out.println(fruit);
		}
	}
}

Output

apple
banana
mango
orange
