Invalid array length, expected integer literal

Question

I'm trying to declare an in-memory array with a fixed length:

uint length = 10;
uint[length] memory priorityList;

However, it just displays this error message:

Invalid array length, expected integer literal

Do I have to do uint[10] memory priorityList; or is there a way I can still use a variable to declare the size?

Answer 1

As per documentation:
Creating arrays with variable length in memory can be done using the new keyword.
You can use following code snippet to solve your problem.

uint length =10;
bytes memory priorityList= new bytes(length);

Answer 2

Generally for an array, you would use uint[] memory list = new uint[](some_size);
