Creating array to store 100 student ids

I am wondering how could we create an array to store 100 student ids so i know we need to use loop for this but not sure how it will work. Can anyone help with that?

To initialize the array (assuming you are storing student ID's as integers):
?
1
int[] studentIDs = new int[100]; // Integer array named "studnetIDs" of size 100
To loop through it
?
1
2
3
for (int i = 0;  i < studentIDs.length; i++) {
            // now the ith index in studentIDs can be referenced as  studentIDs[i]
 }

How can we make 4 arrays instead of the loop to create this same method of storing 100 student ids?

Why would you want to create 4 arrays instead of 1?

Well, okay; but there should be a reason for dividing up the ids. Let's say you had one, like maybe you have 4 classrooms of 25 students each (classrooms 1, 2, 3 and 4) and you are listing which student is in which room. Then
?
1
int[][] studentDistribution = new int[4][25];
and looping through, displaying on screen (after loading ids into the array in similar manner) would be (in a world of least 600 x 560):
?
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
for (int j=0; j<4; j++)
{
    showText("Room "+(j+1), 100+j*125, 20);
    for (int i=0; i<25; i++)
    {
        showText(""+studentDistribution[j][i], 100+j*125, 60+i*20);
    }
}
