Arrays and Array Operations
Explore how to use arrays in Java to manage and analyze meal information. Understand how arrays store multiple values, enable looping through data, and support calculations like daily and weekly calorie totals. Build a Healthy Meals Tracker app and practice creating dynamic input systems for snack tracking. Gain hands-on experience organizing data with arrays and enhancing your coding skills with AI assistance.
The project
You’ve decided to start eating healthier and want to track the meals you eat each day. Instead of typing one meal at a time and losing track, you want a system that can:
Store the meal names (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks).
Store the calories for each meal.
Calculate your daily total.
Add everything up for the week.
Typing just:
Breakfast: 400Lunch: 600
It is helpful, but it doesn’t give you the full picture. What you need is an array, a way to organize multiple values together so you can calculate and analyze them easily. ...
