This document discusses arrays in Java. It begins with an introduction to arrays as fixed-length data structures that hold multiple elements of the same type. The document then covers declaring and creating arrays, initializing arrays, and examples of using arrays, including summing array elements, displaying arrays in histograms, and analyzing survey results by storing responses in an array. The document also discusses passing arrays to methods by reference, meaning any changes made to the array in the method also change the original array. It provides an example program that passes an array to a method that directly modifies the array elements, as well as passing an array element by value so the method only modifies a copy of the primitive value.
