510: Mainline

To create an array, you need to deploy the new operator, just as you need to deploy the new operator to create a class instance.

To signal that an array is to be created, you include the type of the elements to be stored and a bracketed number that specifies how many elements the array is to store. For example, to create an array of four integers, you write the following:

 *-- Specifies that a new array is to be created 
 | 
 v 
----------- 
new int [4] 
     ^   ^ 
     |   |   
     |   *-- Specifies that the array contains four elements 
     | 
     *-- Specifies that the new array contains integer elements
