Question about Array in class

Can you set the size of the array in the modifier method? I have it like this and I get an error.

Code:

---

//Data Field
private double[] scoresArray;

// Modifier Methods
          public void setScoresArray(int j) {
              this.scoresArray[j];
          }

---

If You want to create instance of Array object, You should say:

Code:

---

this.scoresArray = new double[j];

But not like that. That's not how you initialize an array, but rather you'd do something like so to initialize one, right?:

Code:

---

int[] myArray = new int[10];

---

Or if myArray is declared elsewhere as happens in your example:

Code:

---

myArray = new int[10];

---

You're missing all of this.

I got ya. Thanks both of you!!
