instantiation in C#

Jan 15th, 2009

 Help with Code Tags 
 C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
class MyProgram
{
    static void Main()
    {
        int[] integers;            // declare array
        integers = new int[10];    // size array
    }
}
class MyProgram
{
    static void Main()
    {
        int[] integers;            // declare array
        integers = new int[10];    // size array
    }
}

In which line is the array actually instantiated?

Array get instantiated when you create it with new keyword:

integers = new int[10]; // size array

declaration can just create a reference.

int[] integers; // declare array

Yep.. Just because you've declared a container, doesnt automagically mean its made, thefore the new keyword gives you the default contents for that type
