+An array is a reference type, so the array can be a [nullable reference](../../nullable-references.md) type. The element types might be reference types, so an array can be declared to hold nullable reference types. The following example declarations show the different syntax used to declare the nullability of the array or the elements:

+type?[] arrayName; // non nullable array of nullable element types.
+type[]? arrayName; // nullable array of non-nullable element types.
+type?[]? arrayName; // nullable array of nullable element types.

+int[] numbers = new int[10]; // All values are 0
+string[] messages = new string[10]; // All values are null.
+```
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> In the preceding example, even though the type is `string[]`, an array of non-nullable strings, the default value for each element is null. The best way to initialize an array to non-null values is to use a [collection expressions](../operators/collection-expressions.md).
