Question

I have this code  public static Boolean freq     new Boolean Global iParameter 2    freq Global iParameter 2     false    could someone tell me what exactly i m doing wrong here and how would i correct it  I just need to initialize all the array elements to Boolean false  thank you

The main difference is that Boolean is an object and boolean is an primitive   Object default value is null  boolean default value is false

The array will be initialized to false when you allocate it   All arrays in Java are initialized to the default value for the type  This means that arrays of ints are initialised to 0  arrays of booleans are initialised to false and arrays of reference types are initialised to null

public static Boolean freq     new Boolean Global iParameter 2     Global iParameter 2    It should be const value

I just need to initialize all the array elements to Boolean false    Either use boolean   instead so that all values defaults to false   boolean   array   new boolean size     Or use Arrays fill   to fill the entire array with Boolean FALSE   Boolean   array   new Boolean size   Arrays fill array  Boolean FALSE     Also note that the array index is zero based  The freq Global iParameter 2     false  line as you ve there would cause ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException  To learn more about arrays in Java  consult this basic Oracle tutorial

Arrays in Java start indexing at 0  So in your example you are referring to an element that is outside the array by one    It should probably be something like freq Global iParameter 2 -1  false   You would need to loop through the array to initialize all of it  this line only initializes the last element    Actually  I m pretty sure that false is default for booleans in Java  so you might not need to initialize at all   Best Regards

They will be initialized to false by default  In Java arrays are created on heap and every element of the array is given a default value depending on its type  For boolean data type the default value is false
