Anonymous Array

In java it is perfectly legal to create an anonymous array using the following syntax.

new <type>[] { <list of values>};

Anonymous array example

new int[]{1,2,3};

The above given example creates a nameless array and initializes it. Here, neither name of the array nor the size is specified. It also creates a array which can be assigned to reference or can be passed as a parameter to any method.

Anonymous array program

public AnonymousArrayExample{

public static void main(String args[]){

System.out.println(“Length of array is “ + findLength(new int[]{1,2,3}));

}

public static findLength(int[] array){

return array.lentgh;

}

}

The above given program will print the length of the anonymous array which is being passed to the static method.
