I've watched tutorials and read books on arrays in Java. And one thing that confuses me is they go through and show you how to add to an array and how to create one. But after you create one, do you just continuously have to write code to add to them?
Maybe my HTML/web design knowledge is interfering. But I would think there is a file somewhere in your java software files that you could go to and open like a text file. And just manually copy your entire array files in there.
For example, if I was going to make a dictionary website on some subject. Do I really have to write out thousands of lines of code to add to array for each dictionary term and string definition? Or can I just import some sort of text separated file? Similarly, what if it was a massive image site and I got 100,000 images in a folder on my server.
That's where I am confused with arrays. Can anyone clear this up for me? Would really appreciate it.
