Difference in Array initialization

Question

While looking over a source file, i saw two ways of array initialization. I wonder is there a difference between

int[] value = new int[0];

and<

Answer 1

Actually there is no difference. It's Syntactic sugar in java array declaration.

The first type declaration is less confusing, at least for me :).

Note: I'm not sure why you given the length as zero while declaring.
