title: Creating an array while passing it as an argument in Java
body: <p>Is there a way to create an array of  objects as part of a constructor or method?  I'm really not sure how to word this, so I've included an example.  I have an enum, and one of the fields is an array of numbers.  Here is what I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public enum KeyboardStuff {
  
      QWERTY(1, {0.5f, 1.3f, 23.1f}, 6);
      DVORAK(5, {0.1f, 0.2f, 4.3f, 1.1f}, 91);
      CHEROKEE(2, {22.0f}, 11);
  
      private int number, thingy;
      private float[] theArray;
  
      private KeyboardStuff(int i, float[] anArray, int j) {
          // do things
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The compiler says that the brackets { } are invalid and should be removed.  Is there a way I can pass an array as an argument without creating an array of objects beforehand?</p>
