I am trying to write some Java code to create and fill (or partially fill if it's long) an array representing a fixed-size, ordered, commonly-known list.

The example given was:

String[] planets = new String[8]; planets[0] = "Mercury"; planets[1] = "Venus";

I wonder if this would work:

String [ ] rainbow = new String [7]

rainbow [0] = "Red";

rainbow [1] = "Orange";

rainbow [2] = "Yellow";

rainbow [3] = "Green";

rainbow [5] = "Blue";

rainbow [6] = "Indigo",

rainbow [7] = "Violet"
