Java get() functionality in C#

I am trying to convert some Java to C# and I have a line as follows:

int[][] variableName = get();

What my question is is what does "get();" actually do? There is no function or method in the Java code I am converting called "get()" so I am assuming "get();" simply creates an empty object of the required type, in this case, an empty int[][]. Would I be correct in this assumption or does "get()" in Java have some other meaning?

I have searched for "get()" within stackoverflow but the () are ignored and as a result I get masses of information about HTTP GET which is not what I'm after so excuse me if this is duplicated anywhere else.

All help appreciated.

There must be, either in that class or one of its superclasses, or as a static import although that's not very likely. (Nice one, Jesper!) My guess is that you haven't checked all of the superclasses.

...so I am assuming "get();" simply creates an empty object of the required type, in this case, an empty int[][]. Would I be correct in this assumption or does "get()" in Java have some other meaning?

No, unlike C#, get is not a keyword and has no special meaning in Java. That line of code calls a method called get (it could just as easily be called foo) which is declared in the class or one of its superclasses. It may be a static or instance method, but it will be defined by the class or one of its superclasses, or as a static import.
