Difference between int[] array and int array[]

I have recently been thinking about the difference between the two ways of defining an array:

  1. int[] array
  2. int array[]

Is there a difference?

Solution

  • They are semantically identical. The int array[] syntax was only added to help C programmers get used to Java.

    👉 int[] array is much preferable and less confusing.
