java.lang.AssertionError. How correctly fill an array through the loop. I do not know why my code does not work

Question

public class CreateNewArray {
public static int[] createArray() {
int numbers[] = new int[5];
for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
numbers[i] = i + 1;
}return numbers;
}
}

The code does not work, please, help me to fix it.

Answer 1

Illegal modifier for the local class CreateNewArray; only abstract or final is permitted.

Well just remove the public.

class CreateNewArray {
  public static int[] createArray() {
    int numbers[] = new int[5];
    for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
        numbers[i] = i + 1;
    }return numbers;
  }
}

Hope this helps.
