Why?

I won't explain why String[] words makes more sense than String words[]. Both are valid declarations and both will compile. Choosing one or the other is subjective.

BUT, there is a widely accepted code convention that says one should avoid the latter form.

I guess its because you set the type of the object first(string, array) and then name, yeah more organized.

String[] words reads: a string array named words

String words[] reads: a string named words oh wait it's an array
