Yes, I got tired of typing. Those three dots (…) don’t mean anything. But do
you see what I did there?
Inside curly brackets 
{}
(or braces, whatever you call them) I put all the
chars, separated by commas. This is how arrays work, basically.
First, you put your variable type (
int, char, double
, etc.), followed by some
square brackets [].
Then, if you know the values that go in your array when it’s created, then
you can put them in the curly brackets 
{}
.

More examples:
int
[] favoriteNumbers = {
6
,
9
,
420
};
double
[] doubleDoubles = {
1.7
,
340.4
};
float
[] whyUseFloats = {
50.8f
,
129.3f
,
603.432f
};
Cool? Cool.
Making an empty box
That works when we know right away what goes in the array.
However, what if we don’t know right away all the values that go in the
array? Say that three times fast….
Scenario: I want to collect the user’s top 10 favorite letters of the alphabet.
They’re going to type them in one at a time, and I want to keep track of
everything they’ve entered. What do I do?!
Do I call it quits? Do I go home? Well, I’m already at home… so, no.
Nonsense! I can do this:
char
[] userFavoriteLetters =
new char
[
10
];
I know what you’re thinking.
“What the hell is that on the right side?
You’re supposed to use those… curly brace things when you put the
variables in the box!
And they’re letters, not numbers? What’s the 10 for?? And what does ‘new’
mean????”
Calm down, Jennifer. I can explain:
