different main method arguments

[Arjun Srivastava]

public static void main(String[]... args){}//line 1

public static void main(String... args[]){}//line2

line1 compiles fine.
line 2 shows error.
please specify the difference between line1 and line2.

The notation for variable arguments is "T... var", where T is the type of the variable arguments. To pass several String arrays, you can only use "String[]... var", not "String... var[]".

thanks for the reply.

syntax error . and you cant use [] with reference variable after ... in var-arg syntax.

and compiler interpret this

public static void main(String[] ... args){}

as

public static void main(String args[][]){}

What do you mean by line2. Line 1 means, variable arguments method signature! And, you can specify n-D array there. But, what is you line2?

there is nothing like String... var[]
