Hour 9: Storing Information With Arrays
NOTES AND CORRECTIONS
- On Page 147, the second exercise is a poor choice on my part because it
requires techniques that haven't been introduced in the first nine hours of
the book.
Here's a more suitable assignment: Write a short program
using loops that stores the first 400 numbers that are multiples of 13 in an array. The
solution for this exercise can be found in
Find40013s.java and
Find40013s.class.

READER QUESTIONS
- Question: Is the numeric range of the alphabet, from 65 for 'A' to
90 for 'Z', part of the basic Java language? If so, what are 1 through 64
reserved for?
Answer: The numbers 1 through 64 include numerals, punctuation marks,
and some unprintable characters such as linefeed, newline, and backspace. A
number is associated with each printable character that can be used in a
Java program, as well as some unprintable ones. Java uses the Unicode
numbering system, which supports more than 60,000 different characters from
the different languages of the world. The first 127 characters are from the
ASCII character set, which you might have used in another programming
language.
