Array.size() vs Array.length

Question

What is the difference between the two?

So I know that array.size() is a function while array.length is a property. Is there a usecase for using one over the other? Is one more efficient? (I would imagine .length to be significantly faster as it is a property rather then a method call?) Why would one ever use the slower option? Are there some browsers that are incompatible with one or the other?

Answer 1

Array has a length property which provides the length of the Array or Array object. It is the total space allocated in memory during the initialization of the array. Array is static so when we create an array of size n then n blocks are created of array type and JVM initializes every block by default value..
