9. Array initialization syntax

• The syntax for creating an array and assigning values in one statement

  
      type[] arrayName = {value1, value2, value3, ...};
  
  

• Examples that create an array and assign values in one statement

  
      double[] prices = {14.95, 12.95, 11.95, 9.95};
      String[] names = {
          "Ted Lewis", "Sue Jones", "Ray Thomas"};
      Product[] products = {
          new Product("java"), new Product("jsps")};
  
  

• When declaring and initializing arrays, the size of the array is determined by the number of initial values within the braces

• If an array is declared and initialized simultaneously, do not use the operator new to instantiate the array object
