Difference between any[ ] and any[ ] = [ ]

Question

In TypeScript, what is the difference between stations: any[]; and stations: any[] = [];

export class RoleConfigurationComponent implements OnInit {
   stations: any[];
   stations: any[] = [];
}

Can please anyone explain this.

Answer 1

stations: any[];

The above denotes the stations is of type array of any but its NOT initialized

stations: any[] = [];

The above denotes you are initializing stations to an empty array.
