This compiles and works: public class Test { public static int[] array; public static

  • 0

This compiles and works:

public class Test {
    public static int[] array;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] temp = {42};
        array = temp;
    }
}

This doesn’t:

public class Test {
    public static int[] array;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        array = {42};
    }
}

Why is this? How can I assign arrays to non-local variables without using a temporary local variable?

    The variable has already been declared. You need to assign it thus:

    array = new int[] {42};
