Hello,
Just to point out the obvious...
The first one won't compile - so, it's not the right choice.
The other three will compile and do what the question is looking to do.
Bradley Kjell has a nice
on-line Java tutorial that explains many concepts of Java step-by-step.
Chapter 46 on Arrays might help you to understand array declaration and initialization better.
Good Luck,
-Dirk Schreckmann
