What is the question?

when I execute the above code it generates :

"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at test.hyperlikntest.main(hyperlikntest.java:29)"

I was wondering what is the reason

The code creates an array, but doesn't instantiate the objects of that array

Code :

---

JPanel[] panels = new JPanel[1];
panels[0].add(new JComponent());//throws a null pointer exception because panels[0] was never instantiated
panels[0] = new JPanel();//instantiate
panels[0].add( new JComponent() );//now it works like a charm
