illegal start of expression in main
Hello,
I am trying to modify the array referenced by the args variable.
If I use the following code, it works fine :
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] rargs = {"DOwn"};
args = rargs;
// ........
}
}
But if I use this one, compilation fails with a illegal start of expression on line 5
public class EnumTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
args = {"DOwn"}; //line 5
//.....
}
}
I don't see what is going wrong.
Thanks for your help....

The Javac compiler cannot deduce the type of the array from the element
types in the array itself; you have to help it a bit:
args= new String[] { "DOwn" };
kind regards,
