Howdy, Greenhorn! Welcome to the ranch.

Fruit fruits = {}

You didn't declare the type, but just provided a variable name, or so it would appear.

Make sense?

Seeing as {} is an array initializer, I would make it an array:


Chandana, please note that you can only use this way of array initializating when you declare the array:

Ehm. Yes... The array elements are clearly String objects, so the type is quite limited:
- String[]
- Object[]
- Serializable[]
- CharSequence[]
- Comparable<?>[]

Comparable<String>[] will not work.
