If this is your code:
```
int a[] = {10,20,30};
System.out.println(a.length);
```
Here 'a.length' gives the length of the array 'a'.

I mean to find array length , we use arrayname.length .
What is this length variable, where it is generated, is arrayname a class,. . .

I tried to find out source code for array but didn't got it. There is array class in java.lang.reflect package but that is different and similar to array functionality.

Well answer is Array is not a class. Its a reference type. There are three reference type in java class, interface and array
it is built-in JVM part and array.length is defined as
public final <variable> length. as array length is constant which stores length of array.
