Top 50 Java Array Interview Questions with

Answers & Code Examples

■ Basic Array Interview Questions


1. What is an array in Java?
An array is a data structure that stores a fixed-size sequence of elements of the same type. It
allows random access using an index. Example:

Example:
int[] arr = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

2. How is an array different from an ArrayList?


An array has a fixed size, while an ArrayList can grow or shrink dynamically. Arrays store primitives
or objects; ArrayList stores only objects.

3. How do you declare and initialize an array?


You can declare and initialize an array as:
int[] arr = new int[5];
Or directly:
int[] arr = {10, 20, 30};

4. What is the default value of array elements in Java?


Default values depend on the data type:
- int → 0
- double → 0.0
- boolean → false
- object → null

5. Can you change the size of an array once created?


No, arrays in Java are fixed in size. To resize, create a new array and copy elements.

■■ Intermediate Array Interview Questions


6. How do you copy one array into another?
Using [Link]() or [Link]().
Example:
[Link](a, 0, b, 0, [Link]);

7. How do you sort an array?


Use [Link](arr); for ascending order.
For descending order:
[Link](arr, [Link]());

8. How do you find duplicates in an array?


Use nested loops or a Set.
Example:
for(int i=0;i
9. How do you find the largest and smallest element?
Iterate through array and track max/min values.
Example:
for(int n:arr){ if(n>max)max=n; if(n

10. How do you check if two arrays are equal?


Use [Link](arr1, arr2); for 1D arrays or [Link]() for multidimensional arrays.

■ Advanced Array Interview Questions


11. How do you find missing numbers in a sequence?
Find total using formula n*(n+1)/2 and subtract array sum.
Example:
int missing = total - sum;

12. How do you rotate an array?


Right rotation:
int last = arr[[Link]-1]; for(int i=[Link]-1;i>0;i--) arr[i]=arr[i-1]; arr[0]=last;

13. How do you check if array is palindrome?


Compare arr[i] with arr[[Link]-1-i] for all i.
If all match → Palindrome.

14. What is Kadane’s Algorithm?


Used to find maximum sum subarray.
Example:
for(int i=0;i

15. How do you find leaders in an array?


An element is a leader if it’s greater than all elements to its right.
for(int i=0;i
