 So one of the things we can do is when we've developed up an array is we have to look at how I want to Fill it or in the our term Populate an array. We actually have two separate ways. We can do this. The first way is we first Initialize initialize Our array and you see how we do this is we start with first our Data type Now we take that data type and we indicate. Oh, hey, by the way This is going to be an array. That's it That's all we have to do it in Java's world is tell it This is gonna be an array style data type and then we give it its name and then we say over here How many do we need now when we do this? This actually creates a Little kind of you can think of it like a little table in memory Like this And we'll go zero and I'll cut it off a little bit. No, I actually kind of follow along with what I'm looking at here And I know I'm getting cut off here. Don't worry But so now what I'm looking at is I start off with empty Strings there's nothing in here right now because this is where that term Populating an array comes from it's I have to do something I have to put something inside of that guy right there so that's where I access My data type and I say oh well at the index of Zero, I want you to put the string Sunday And I keep going and I go well at the index of one. I want you to put the string Monday As you can guess you keep on going you keep on going until you get to index six and you add it into Or you add Saturday into that that's one way to populate out an array Now reason why you'd want to do this? Maybe you don't know what the values are right off the bat You're gonna be developing them dynamically But what happens if you do know your values right off the bat say for example, I know you know how how many days of The week I'm dealing with I know how many Months in the year there are and I know their names and I know how I want them to be presented in my code So I don't want to have to go through this process lazy programmers The other way we can do this is by using those curly braces again. I can Write it out the same way. I still do my data type first With a square bracket telling it. This is an array. I give it a name and Then I go squirrely brace squirrely brace and I put in my data here separating it by commas those commas are going to then fill it up So that's actually the same as doing the previous method Neither one's wrong. They're both kind of right in our situation But it allows us a different way to skin the cat
