I can confirm that a Java array of int primitives will be zero
initialised and for the upper bounds, to quote
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/arrays.html
"If an array has n components, we say n is the length of the array;
the components of the array are referenced using integer indices from
0 to n-1, inclusive."
