Array Class Arrays class provides methods to perform certain operations on any one dimensional array.All the methods of the array class are static ,So they can be called in the form of Arrays.methodname() . Arrays Class Methods
static void sort(array)
static void sort(array,int start,int end)
static int binarySearch(array,element)
static boolean equals(array1,array2)
static array copyOf(source-array,int n)
static void fill(array,value)

System.out.println("Elemnt not found!!!");
else
System.out.println("Element is found at location: " +(index+1));
}
