Hi to all

[zama syed]

what is difference in s and s1 in the below program:

[b]class ArrayEx1
{
  String[] s1;
  s1=new String[10];
  public static void main(String args[])throws Exception
  {
   String[] s;
   s=new String[10];
  }
}[/b]

'm getting error for s1.........

[Stephan van Hulst]

The difference is that s1 is a member of the class, whereas s is a local variable in the main method. The reason you're getting an error is that you can't have loose statements in the class body.
The line s1 = new String[10] should be either in a method or constructor body, or you should initialize s1 directly.

What a tricky thread name! I got all excited that someone just wanted to say hi and THEN I feel very deceived when I find out there is a question in here! There must be some evil mastermind behind this dastardly thread!
