Java: int[] array vs int array[] [duplicate]

Question

Is there a difference between

int[] array = new int[10]; 

and

int array[] = new int[10]; 

?

Both do work, and the result is exactly the same. Which one is quicker or better? Is there a style guide which recommends one?

Answer 1

Both are equivalent. Take a look at the following:

int[] array;  // is equivalent to  int array[]; 

int var, array[];  // is equivalent to  int var; int[] array; 

int[] array1, array2[];  // is equivalent to  int[] array1; int[][] array2; 

public static int[] getArray() {     // .. }  // is equivalent to  public static int getArray()[] {     // .. }
