The java compiler treats arrays as objects with a few basic methods and one public final value: length. There is no mystery :cool:

new will allocate memory. but int is a type not an Class ?

You would be surprised to see this. ;)

class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(int.class.getName());
}
}

You mean that this indicates that int is a class ? The class method here is used on the type definition, not a class instance.
So, this does not compile:

class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int x=5;
System.out.println(x.class.getName());
}

int x=5;
System.out.println(x.class.getName());

x is not a object.

Exactly, neither is int. And an object is not a class, it is an instance of a class.

Object is aarray
boolean b = object.getClass().isArray();
if (b) {
// object is an array
}
