Question

I have an array of integers in Java that is initialized as follows:

public int MyNumbers[] = {0,0,0,0};

I would like to, however, initialize the array to a variable-length number of zeroes.

private int number_of_elements = 4;
public int MyNumbers[] = {0} * number_of_elements; // ????

I am clueless how to do this being new to Java coming from C. Any suggestions?

EDIT

I know I could use a for loop, but I hoping there was a simple way to do it.

Answer 1

int[] myNumbers = new int[size];
Arrays.fill(myNumbers, 0);
