length method not with braces

[shivam aggarwal]

why is 'length' method not used with usual braces,unlike other methods?

[Rob Spoor]

If you are talking about the .length attribute of arrays, the answer is pretty simple - it's not a method. You might say it's something like a public final int field - you can read it but not change it.

If you use String in your code you will find length() method with braces.

[Campbell Ritchie]

Braces look like this: {}

What you showed () are called parentheses (in America) or sometimes (round) brackets (in Britain), never braces.

You are right ritchie. Though I knew the differance, I have done the mistake unknowingly.
