int array initialization

Question

I have here a simple question related to Java. Let\'s say you have an int array as instance variable:

int[] in = new int[5];

So, now by def

Answer 1

Yes, when you initialise an array the contents will be set to the default value for that type, for int it would be 0 and for a reference type it would be null.

If you initialise an array and inspect the contents you can see this for yourself:

...
final int[] in = new int[5];

for (int i = 0; i < in.length; i++) {
    System.out.println(in[i]);
}
...

This will print:

0
0
0
0
0
