public class Sonnet29 implements Poem { private String[] poem; public Sonnet29() { poem = { "foo", "bar" , "baz"}; } @Override public void recite() { //... } } Line poem = { "foo", "bar" , "baz"}; is giving compilation error. Any specific reason why this is not allowed? How do I initialize a String array with array constants? EDIT: Thank you folks for your answers. Now I'm clear what is allowed and what is NOT. But can I ask you why this is NOT allowed? String[] pets; pets = {"cat", "dog"}; After googling a bit, I found this link , where in, it is told that coding like this leaves the compiler in ambiguity - whether the pets should be array of Strings or array of Objects. However from the declaration, it can very well figure out that it is a String array, right???
