Invalid expression term '{' (Declaring array outside switch statement)

Question

I've started an algorithm for a program, and I've declared the array in method itself. However, when I reference the array inside the switch statement I get repetitive errors: Invalid expression term '{' and '{' expected and ';' expected Below is the code:

algorithm()
{
code .....
int[] interval;
more code....
switch (int.parse(lbl2.text))
    {
    case 1:
        sInterval = {10, 20, 30, 40};
        break;
    case 2:
        sInterval = { 50, 60, 70, 80};
        break;
    }
}

How do you fix this problem?

Answer 1

The correct syntax is new int[]{10, 20, 30, 40}
