Java arrays are always fixed size?

Question

Maybe i'm a bit confused, because i was learning javascript first, but it seems waay too complicated with java arrays? why is that so, I have no idea... importing some extra stuff, just so we could manipulate the size of an array, seems crazy... is there a good reason for this?

Answer 1

yes that's why it's called IMMUTABLE,once an array in java is declared,the system sets a specific amount of memory for it,this cannot be changed,so use ArrayList

Answer 2

For a non-fixed array, use is usually ArrayList, LinkedList.
