can i use a 'for loop to create an array in java code example

Example 1: arrays with for loops

// Find-Max variant -- rather than finding the max value, find the
// *index* of the max value
public int findMaxIndex(int[] nums) {
  int maxIndex = 0;  // say the 0th element is the biggest
  int maxValue = nums[0];

  // Look at every element, starting at 1
  for (int i=1; i<nums.length; i++) {
    if (nums[i] > maxValue) {
      maxIndex = i;
      maxValue = nums[maxIndex];
    }
  }
  return maxIndex;
}

Example 2: arrays with for loops

// Another way to write search that combines
// the "end of array" and "found" logic in one
// while loop. As a matter of style, we prefer
// the above version that uses the standard
// for-all loop.
public int searchNotAsGood(int[] nums, int target) {
  int i = 0;
  while (i<nums.length && nums[i]!=target) {
    i++;
  }
  // get here either because we found it, or hit end of array
  if (i==nums.length) {
    return -1;
  }
  else {
    return i;
  }
}
