Are arrays equivalent to objects in Java

+1 vote

Array Declaration in Java is :

String[] array = new String[10]; 
int size = array.length; 

This is also how Objects are created in Java. So is  array an Object ?

Yes; the Java Language Specification writes:

In the Java programming language, arrays are objects (§4.3.1), are dynamically created, and may be assigned to variables of type Object (§4.3.2). All methods of class Object may be invoked on an array.
