java how to append to an array code example

Example 1: java insert array

// ! IMPORTANTE !
// in JAVA an array is not the same as an ArrayList object!!
// 1 - declare, instanciate and populate
int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 }; 
// 2 - declare and instanciate an int array with maxSize
// note: the index goes between 0 and maxSize-1
int newarr[] = new int[maxSize];
// 2.1 - insert the value n on the position pos
newarr[pos] = n; 
// 2.2 - insert values recursively
for (i = 0; i < maxSize; i++) { newarr[i] = arr[i]; }

    public static void main( String args[] ) {
      int[] arr = { 10, 20, 30 };
      System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));

      arr = Arrays.copyOf(arr, arr.length + 1);
      arr[arr.length - 1] = 40; // Assign 40 to the last element
      System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));
    }
