Difference between int[] array and int array[]

Question

I have recently been thinking about the difference between the two ways of defining an array:

1. int[] array
2. int array[]
<

Answer 1

The most preferred option is int[] a - because int[] is the type, and a is the name. (your 2nd option is the same as this, with misplaced space)

Functionally there is no difference between them.
