# [[Java Arrays Real Life]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
The min/max-tracking pattern initializes BOTH tracker variables to `numbers[0]` (not 0 or some sentinel), which is the safe idiom for arrays containing negative numbers — seeding with 0 would silently break the min-tracking logic if all elements were negative. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **Average calculation** — sum via for-each, then divide by `.length`. [S1]
- **Lowest-value tracker** — initialize a tracker to the first element, then compare/update while iterating. [S1]
- **Break/continue array filtering** — skip negatives, stop at zero (reusing the break/continue chapter's pattern). [S1]
- **Max+min simultaneous tracking** — two trackers both initialized to `numbers[0]`, updated independently in one loop pass. [S1]
- **Indexed labeling** — seat number + occupant, requiring the regular for loop. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Average: `int ages[] = {20, 22, 18, 35, 48, 26, 87, 70}; float avg, sum = 0; int length = ages.length; for (int age : ages) { sum += age; } avg = sum / length;`. [S1]
- Lowest value: `int lowestAge = ages[0]; for (int age : ages) { if (lowestAge > age) { lowestAge = age; } }`. [S1]
- Skip negative/stop at zero: `int[] numbers = {3, -1, 7, 0, 9}; for (int n : numbers) { if (n < 0) { continue; } if (n == 0) { break; } System.out.println(n); }`. [S1]
- Max and min together: `int[] numbers = {45, 12, 98, 33, 27}; int max = numbers[0]; int min = numbers[0]; for (int n : numbers) { if (n > max) { max = n; } if (n < min) { min = n; } }`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
소스에서 모순되는 정보는 발견되지 않음.

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — 평균/최댓값/최솟값 계산은 배열 처리의 가장 흔한 실전 응용이다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Simultaneous max/min tracking seeded from first element (Java):
```java
int[] numbers = {45, 12, 98, 33, 27};
int max = numbers[0];
int min = numbers[0];
for (int n : numbers) {
    if (n > max) { max = n; }
    if (n < min) { min = n; }
}
System.out.println("Max: " + max);
System.out.println("Min: " + min);
```
