Array initialization difference

[sln69]

Hi, can anybody tell me the difference betweeen

ClassX inst[] = { new ClassX() };

and

ClassX[] inst = null;
inst[0] = new ClassX();

What modifications should be made in the second paragraph to make it work?

Thanks.

In the second example it looks like you're trying to instantiate a class into an array (not assign a class as the first element of an array). Maybe this would work:

  ClassX[] inst = null;
  ClassX myClassX = new ClassX();
  inst[0] = { myClassX };

Have you written a test program to see what the difference is?
Would save a lot of time and the answer would be correct.

The second line group creates a pointer but does NOT create an instance of an array. Ie inst[0] does not exist.
Does the first one compile?
