==== 7.5.71 newarray ====

Create new array 

Format 

newarray 

atype 

Forms 

newarray = 144 (0x90) 

Stack 

..., count -> ..., arrayref 

Description 

The count must be of type short. It is popped off the operand stack. The count represents the number of elements in the array to be created. 

The unsigned byte atype is a code that indicates the type of array to create. It must take one of the following values:  

Array Type 

atype 

**T_BOOLEAN** 

**10** 

**T_BYTE** 

**11** 

**T_SHORT** 

**12** 

**T_INT** 

**13** 

A new array whose components are of type atype, of length count, is allocated from the heap. A reference arrayref to this new array object is pushed onto the operand stack. All of the elements of the new array are initialized to the default initial value for its type. 

Runtime Exception 

If count is less than zero, the newarray instruction throws a NegativeArraySizeException. 

Notes 

If a virtual machine does not support the int data type, the value of atype may not be 13 (array type = T_INT).
