Question

I’ve been told that

int[] numbers 

and

int numbers[] 

are equivalent. I’ve only ever seen the former though. What impetus is there, if ever, to write the latter?

Answer 1

Doesnt really matter, but, my personal preference is for int[] numbers as it more logically follows the class instance_name pattern.

After all you are really delcaring an “array of integers” called “numbers”, the second form is slightly misleading as its more of declaring “an integer” called “numbers” oh and by the way its actually an array of “numbers”.
