Vishal,
array is just a container and here it the case of array of integers. And no objects whatsoever involved in this.
Please check few tutorials.

I think you are mistaken there.

[Rob Spoor]

I agree. Arrays are objects themselves as well.

[David Newton]

Technically, they're objects. From the rest of Java-style OOP, though... meh. java.util.Arrays and java.lang.System's arraycopy (yay, consistency) shouldn't be necessary, and I've never really understood it--why did they do it like that?

yep right .. thanks for the correction..
