How many objects are created by the following two statements?

[kishore srimat]

int[] a = new int[10];
int[][] b = new int[10][10];

[Campbell Ritchie]

Don't know (that is not absolutely true).

But the traditions of the Ranch are that you are supposed to tell us how many objects you think there are, then we shall look and see whether you are correct.

Being the greenhorn that I am with Java, I'm going to say 2, because each array is an object.

[kishore srimat]

int[] a = new int[10];

one object here

int[][] b = new int[10][10];

But here i am not sure whether it creats 10 objects ? or again one object

[Kevin Cahill]

In the HFJ book, pg. 670 shows a multidimensional array as a single object. So, my guess is each line of your example is a single object. It would be best to get clarification from an expert though...anyone?

One for First statement.
11 for second statement.

Kishore, your another *duplicate* thread has got an answer with an explanation by a bartender over here.

Kindly do NOT duplicate the threads!
