Array initialization syntax when not in a declaration

Question

I can write:

AClass[] array = {object1, object2}

I can also write:

AClass[] array = new AClass[2];
...
array[0] = object1;
         


        

Answer 1

I can't answer the why part.

But if you want something dynamic then why don't you consider Collection ArrayList.

ArrrayList can be of any Object type.

And if as an compulsion you want it as an array you can use the toArray() method on it.

For example:

            ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
            al.add("one");
            al.add("two");
            String[] strArray = (String[]) al.toArray(new String[0]);

I hope this might help you.
