dynamic arrays
I'm new to programming in Java and did some stuff in PHP up to now. PHP handles arrays quite liberally. You never have to tell the finite size of the array and can add new members at any time.
Now I tried to work with arrays in Java and found the following. Even though Java doesn't require you to tell it the exact size of the array at compile time you have to tell it at run time before using the array. Once you specified the size of the array there's no way to make it larger. However there are cases when you can actually never know exactly how large an array needs to be.
My questions are now:
Is my observation true?
If so, is there any way, like a wrapper class or something, that works around that limitation?
If there isn't one out there yet and anybody else would need it, I'll be glad to give my solution away as I just developed one...
