Q.  How do I initialize an array?

A.  I do it this way:

	int[] myArray = { 1, 2, 3 }

which is nice and compact.
Some books tell you to do:

	int[] myArray = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 };

which works but is more verbose.

Initialize a 2D array in this way:

	int[][] twoDimArray = { {1,2,3}, {4,5,6}, {7,8,9} };
