Arrays

Hi,Does anyone know how many bytes does java allocate when I declare a character or a string array like this:char[] a = new char[] without specifying the size.Is it a good idea to not to specify the size?Please help

I don't think you can do this and compile safely. The compiler will give you an error like : Array dimension missing.You have to provide the size of the array when initializing an array.

It's somewhat pointless to create an array that can't hold anything but it is doable... here's the trick:

char[] ary = new char[] {} ;
