Collections Java Tutorial

For example, the following two declarations are equivalent:

int al[] = new int[3];
int[] a2 = new int[3];
The following declarations are also equivalent:
char twod1[][] = new char[3][4];
char[][] twod2 = new char[3][4];
This alternative declaration form offers convenience when declaring several arrays at the same time:

int[] nums, nums2, nums3; // create three arrays
