Array with for nested loop

Can anybody tell me how for nested loop work with an array.
Thanks in advance

you can use for loops to fill the array:
for (int j = 0; j < myArray.length; j++)
myArray[j] = whatever;
now using nested for loops, I would only assume you have a 2 dimensional array to fill:
for (int column = 0; column < myArray.length; column++)
for (int row = 0; row < myArray[column].length; row++)
myArray[column][row] = whatever;
Is that what you're asking?

Hi Sadaf
Another common use of nested for loops with an array is when you want to compare all elements of the array to each other. Is this the problem you wish to solve?

Certainly. Have a look at the code below, which creates an array of integers and compares all elements to each other. Sorry it took me a while to reply - I have been offline for a few days.
<code><pre>
public class ArrayComparison
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int[] bunchOfNumbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4};

// compare each array element to all others
int numberOfElements = bunchOfNumbers.length;

for(int i = 0; i < numberOfElements; i++)<br /> {<br /> int current = bunchOfNumbers[i];<br /> <br /> for(int j = (numberOfElements - 1); j > i; j--)
{
int numberToMatch = bunchOfNumbers[j];

if(current == numberToMatch)
{
System.out.println( "Element " + i + " (" + current + ") = Element "
+ j + " (" + numberToMatch + ")" );
}
}
}
}
}
</pre></code>

Hope this helps
Michael
