Can Java Array objects be created dynamically at Runtime?

Question

Can I do this in Java?

At Runtime:

int length = some arithmetic that loads length

then I use length to do this:

byte [] b = new byte[length];

Will this throw an Exception at Runtime? If so which one?

Answer 1

Yes it can be created at run time.

But you should try and see :)

Answer 2

No that won't throw an exception at runtime, unless of course length is negative.

Answer 3

Yes, read this!
