All, In the following code snippet, why is it necessary to create a new String[]?
// Make a normal 52-card deck String[] suit = new String[] {"spades", "hearts", "diamonds", "clubs"}; String[] rank = new String[] {"ace","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","jack","queen","king"}; Isn't it possible to assign the array directly to suit & rank references or am I missing something here? I'm making the assumption that I can treat String as a primitive - possibly wrong. // Make a normal 52-card deck String[] suit = {"spades", "hearts", "diamonds", "clubs"}; String[] rank = {"ace","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","jack","queen","king"}; Both assignments appear to work when I run the code. However, since I'm striving to become a good Java coder, which code snippet would be considered correct.
