'.class' expected Error when trying to pass an Array

Question

In the below method I am trying to return an array. The compiler gives me one error: '.class' expected. I am not sure if I am writing the 'return' statement correctly and not really sure of another way to code it. Below is a portion of the code and I can post all of it if need be but the other methods seem to be fine.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class LibraryUserAccount
Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
private final int MAX_BOOKS_ALLOWED;
private int checkedOutBookCounter;
private long accountNumber;
private String socialSecurityNumber, name, address;
private final long isbnNumbers[];
//constructor
public LibraryUserAccount(long accountNumber, int maxBooksAllowed)
     this.accountNumber = 0;
     MAX_BOOKS_ALLOWED = maxBooksAllowed;
//returns the array isbnNumbers[]
public long getCheckedOutBooksISBNNumbers()
     return isbnNumbers[];
The error displayed as:
LibraryUserAccount.java:111: '.class' expected
     return isbnNumbers[];
^
1 error
Thanks in advance for the help.

Answer 1

Rewriting the method as:
public long[] getCheckedOutBooksISBNNumbers()
return isbnNumbers;
... has fixed that particular compiler error. Thanks jverd. I appreciate the help.
On a separate note I am having trouble with initializing the array. What I am trying to do is initialize an array of a size equal to a value passed to the class. Example being:
//variables
private final int MAX_BOOKS_ALLOWED;
private long accountNumber;
private final long[] isbnNumbers;
//constructor method
public LibraryUserAccount(long accountNumber, int maxBooksAllowed)
this.accountNumber = 0;
MAX_BOOKS_ALLOWED = maxBooksAllowed;
long[] isbnNumbers = new long[MAX_BOOKS_ALLOWED];
My goal is to set the size of isbnNumbers[] to the value of MAX_BOOKS_ALLOWED. I've tried a couple of different ways to initialize the array (the latest listed above) but the compiler doesn't like what I have done. Thanks again.
