Based on an exact canonical partition function, we investigate the thermodynamics and trap-size scaling behaviors for a finite number of ideal bosons confined in a cubic box or in a harmonic trap. Both in the box trap imposed by either periodic or Dirichlet boundary conditions (BCs) and in the harmonic trap, we calculate several physical quantities including the chemical potentialμ, specific heatCN, condensate fraction <n0>/N, root-mean-square fluctuationsδn0of the condensate population, and transition temperatureTc, and compare these quantities under different traps. We discuss the particle-number dependence ofTcthrough proposing severalTcdefinitions, where the differences among these values are considerable for the finite systems.
