[DUPLICATE] What is the difference between(String [ ] arg) and (String arg[ ]) in java main method?

Question

Output remains same but what is the dif?

Answer 1

IIRC, the former is the recommended way to declare an array. The latter is only there for C/C++ programmers to get used to Java.

Still, there is a small difference:

int[] foo, bar; // will declare both as arrays.
int foo[], bar; // will only declare foo as an array.

Answer 2

no difference will be there in the output ... both are same thing & can be used interchangibly in java ,
thats a diferent way to write a same thing

Answer 3

Yea. @Hatsy is right. The latter is just legacy to make C/C++ programmers to "feel at home".

The syntax is also not robust as the former...

^-^

Answer 4

hatsy is experienced 😃

Answer 5

@Guarav, yes she is 😊

Answer 6

In java. You can declare an array as arr[] or []arr. I was surprised that in C# you can only declare an array as []arr.

Answer 7

Both are same I hope.

Answer 8

That is a convenience the compiler offers, they're equivalent.
They are semantically identical. The int array[]syntax was only added to help C programmers get used to java.

int[] array is much preferable, and less confusing.

there is a difference (I forgot because I never declare more than one variable at a time):

int[] foo, bar; // both are arrays
int foo[], bar; // foo is an array
