How to make an array a global static variable

Re: How to make an array a global static variable
There is no such thing as a global variable in Java.
The closest parallel is to create a public static member of a class, then every class which wants to use that "global" would reference it from the given class.
public class MyGlobals { public static int[] data = new int[]{1,2,3}; }
An alternative is to employ the singleton idiom.

Re: How to make an array a global static variable
If you explain WHAT you're trying to do - a code example would be great - someone here can explain HOW to do it. The solution won't include the approach you've suggested.
Re: How to make an array a global static variable
you make a global type array just as like you instantiate a array. But one thing remind it, that array elements are always get a default value irrespective of the position of a array.

Thank you all for the help! Especially Rahul Bansal and helloworld922. My professor called the example helloworld922 gave, global variables. Sorry for the misuse of the term.
