Java main method args
I have a little question which confuses me. In the main method the args array seems to be created wrong from which i have been taught.
in the main method to declare the args array im sure you all know it is String[] args
but from what i have learned, an array is made with String args[]
why is this different in the main method?
thanks

Re: Java main method args
Either syntax is valid. From the array tutorial (http://download.oracle.com/javase/tu...ts/arrays.html ):
PS- Thousandth post!You can also place the square brackets after the array's name:
float anArrayOfFloats[]; // this form is discouraged
However, convention discourages this form; the brackets identify the array type and should appear with the type designation.

Re: Java main method args
No problem. The Java tutorials are a great resource for this kind of question- I typed in "java arrays" to find that tutorial.Originally Posted by mattxo

Also, you could use varargs with the main method:
public static void main(String... args){
I'll leave that for you to google. :p
