Thomas Paul responded:

Not to re-introduce the Vector vs array argument, but merely to answer
the original question:
Yes, you can say something like
public int[] makeArray(int size) {
int[] intArray = new int[size];
return intArray;
}
... or include the array creation anywhere in your code, or whatever.
Just as long as you know the size of the array right before you create
it...
You should only use a Vector (or other "dynamically" sizing object) if
you want to be able to add an arbitrary number of objects to your data
structure - that is, if you don't know how many objects you're going to
need to store (even at run time), but rather need the ability to let the
structure grow dynamically...

Within C++ is a smaller, cleaner language
struggling to get out.
It's called Java.
