Arrays are "true" or "first class" objects in Java and no pointer arithmetic is supported.
|

An Array is declared as:
|
| 3 |
alternative syntax: int[] vec;
|
| 4 |
and created by:
|
| 5 |
or concisely:
-
int vec[] = new int[128];
|
| 6 |
Arrays of arbitrary objects can be constructed,
-
e.g. Thread myThreadList[] = new Thread[1024];
-
The only difference is that in the case of primitive types, the array elements are actually allocated. In the case of arbitrary objects, an array of object references is created; before you use array elements, you must call the constructor of that type for each element.
