Beginner : Using a loop to print object array

Question

Code :

---

create an array that can hold two BankAccount objects.
In this array, add the following BankAccount objects to it:
 
 
Account Number	  Name
123456	          Sandra Murphy
789465	          John Browne

---

So far ive created an array of object arrays which seems ok

Code :

---

 
        BankAccount [] bankAccountArray = new BankAccount [2];
 
        BankAccount bankAccount1 = new BankAccount("123456","Sandra Murphy");
        BankAccount bankAccount2 = new BankAccount("789456","John Browne");
 
        bankAccountArray[0] = bankAccount1;
        bankAccountArray[1] = bankAccount2;

---

What i need to do now is

Code :

---

Display the two bank accounts (objects) on the screen. You must use a loop here to display the data. If you can, try placing this code in a method and call the method to display the bank accounts.

---

When i use the bankAccount1.length it just says cannot find variable length. I have no idea what to do next

Anyone any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

The compiler can not find the variable: length in the class: BankAccount.
Where is it defined?

Are you trying to get the length of an array? What array do you want the length of?

Thanks for the quick reply

i was using it in a for loop

for(int i = 0 ; i < bankAccount1.length i ++ ){

}

I basically need it to run the same amount as the amount of objects that are in array bankAccount1 which is twice.

There is no array named: bankAccount1 in the code you posted.

Well then im miles off :)

Code :

---

BankAccount bankAccount1 = new BankAccount("123456","Sandra Murphy");

Is this not an array with 2 strings stored in it?

Sorry im a complete beginner. Only at this a few weeks.

bankAccount1 in post#5 is not an array. It a variable the refers to an instance of the BankAccount class.

See the tutorial about arrays:
Arrays (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Language Basics)
