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

Yep, exactly the same. Personally, I prefer

int[] integers; 

because it makes it immediately obvious to anyone reading your code that integers is an array of int's, as opposed to

int integers[];

which doesn't make it all that obvious, particularly if you have multiple declarations in one line. But again, they are equivalent, so it comes down to personal preference.
