     All are equivalent.  The first suggests the code was written by
an immigrant from C or C++, the last is the style usually seen in
Java, and the middle is just plain ugly.

     So will

	int productIDs = []{10,20,30};
	int productIDs = {10,20,30}[];
	int productIDs = {[10,20,30]};
	productIDs int[] = {10,20,30};

... and a lot of other random stuff, too.
