Basic Question

[santhoshK babu]

class arr{
public static void main(String s[]){

int[][] i=new int[2][4];
i[0]=new int[]{1,2,3,4,5,6,7};
System.out.println(i.length);
}
}

Hi,

In the abobe code, why it is not possible for me not to

call the length method like this i.length()..

Thanks In Advance.

length() is not defined in arrays. There is no such method defined in array.

Arrays has a length field which is public and final

The Members of an Array Type
