This Java program is to Implement Variable length array. In programming, a variable-length array (or VLA) is an array data structure of automatic storage duration whose length is determined at run time (instead of at compile time).
Here is the source code of the Java program to implement variable length array. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class VariableLengthArray<T>

setSize(-1);
}
public void setSize(int size)
{

}
public int getSize()
{
return size;
}
public void store(int index, T value)
{
try
{
array.set(index, value);
} catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException indexOutBounds)
{
if (index >= 0 && !(index < size))
{
throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException();
}
array.add(index, value);
}
}
public T get(int index)
{

} catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException indexOutBounds)

more than the size of the array");
}

}

} while (choice.equals("y"));
scanner.close();
}
}
