    Default Array

    import java.util.Scanner;

    public class Lab10_Ex3
    {

    public static void main (String [] args)
    {

    String [] strings = new String[4];

    strings[0] = "Einstein";
    strings[1] = "Newton";
    strings[2] = "Copernicus";
    strings[3] = "Kepler";

    showElements(strings);


    }
    public static void showElements(int[] strings)
    {
    System.out.print("The contents of the array are: ");
    System.out.println(strings[0]);
    System.out.println(strings[1]);
    System.out.println(strings[2]);
    System.out.println(strings[3]);



    }
    }

    ERROR:

    showElements(int[]) in Lab10_Ex3 cannot be applied to (java.lang.String[])
    showElements(strings);
    ^
    1 error


    any ideas?

    Default Re: Array

    Look at what the error is telling you. You are putting a String[] as an argument to a method that requires an int[]:

    public static void showElements(int[] strings)

    If you want the method to take a String[] as input, you have to declare it as such.
