    Default Re: how to access array f objects in java

    you can use an array list:
    ArrayList<object> arr= new ArrayList<object>();
    or using a regular array:
    object[] arr= new object[size];

    and then for an array its pretty much the same as C++ and for an arraylist, you use .add to add objects, .get to get objects, .set to set an index of the list to an objects .delete to delete an object at some point, .contains to check if an object is in the list and so on and so forth

    You've never initialized the objects in the array. Please use code tags when posting code and include the full stack trace.

    NullPointerException means, that you're trying to do something with null. Hence, check up every object in main() to be not null. Please, wrap your code in the [code=Java]/*...*/[//code] - it's really difficult to read.

    By reading the big announcement at the top of this forum. The full stack trace ist the complete error message you get at runtime.

    So do you want some kind of memory in your object to remember the results of all your accesses and computations?

    The best way is to use collection, a List for example.

    Always include the full text of the error message with the code and questions when you post. This is for speed of service on your behalf, and a huge time saver on the other end. The message will give clues to the location and a variable name. Figure out why that variable does not have a valid value when it is being accessed.

    Are you asking someone to tell you what the other way is? If so please use full words. Storage is cheap these days, those extra letters are okay, please include them.
    ...The other way to do what exactly?
