Relearning in JAVA: 5)Initialization & cleanup

Chapter 5.

p184. In a class, all the variables are initialized before any method can be called, even the constructor.

Array initialization and toString:

int[] a = new int[]{1,2,3,4};
int[] b = {1,2,3,4};
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a));

@Test
public void test() {
    int[] ints= {1,2,3,4};
    print(1,2,3,4);
    print(ints); 
	print();
} 
private void print(int... args) 
{ 
	System.out.println(Arrays.toString(args)); 
	for (int a : args) {
		System.out.println(a);
	}
}

Variable argument list makes method overloading more complicated. You should generally only use a variable argument list on one version of an overload method. Or consider not doing it at all.

The only safe methods to call inside a constructor are those that are final in the base class.
