Why doesn't byte[] b = new byte[8](); work? [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

• Why doesn't array class have a costructor (Why is it not created via e.g. new int[]()) 1 answer

I already know that byte[] b = new byte[8]; works fine. But why doesn't byte[] b = new byte[8]; work?

For example, byte b = new byte(); works fine, so an array style also should work but it doesn't. I have no exact idea of this reason. Could someone please explain?
