Is there any difference between “Object[] x” and “Object x[]”?

by

Both are legal and both work. But placing [] before the array’s name is recommended.

From Javadocs:

You can also place the square brackets after the array’s name:

float anArrayOfFloats[]; // this form is discouraged

However, convention discourages this form; the brackets identify the array type and should appear with the type designation.
