Question

Can someone explain this code to me

new Object[]{"PLease","Help"};

I've never seen such code before,
so it would be helpful if someone explained this to me. Thank you in advance

You create a new array of objects in which there are two lines in it: "PLease" and "Help".

The construct used is called an anonymous array because you do not assign the array to anything (useful if you want to pass an array to a method).

It:

new Object [] {"PLease", "Help"};

It is equivalent to:

 Object[] array = new Object[size]; array[0] = "PLease"; array[1] = "Help";

Hope this clears up a bit.

This is a short hand for an inline array.

This is the same as doing ...

 Object[] aArray = new Object[2]; aArray[0] = "PLease"; aArray[1] = "Help";
