Re: Random variant.
When you store data into an array, you need to change the index's value to point to the element in the array where you want the data stored. Normally the index starts at 0 and increases by 1 for each new item that is stored in the array.The above statement stores the data at the first element (index=0). If you want data put into the other elements in the array, the code needs to use a variable as index and increment the index every time data is stored in the array.anArray[0] = books;

Re: Random variant.
Can you give me the example?
Re: Random variant.
theArray[theIndex++] = theValue; // save theValue in theArray and incr the index

Re: Random variant.
public void Authors(){ scan = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Please write the author: "); authors = scan.nextLine(); System.out.println("Please write how much author books you want to write: " + authors); authors03 = scan.nextInt(); scan.nextLine(); for(int i = 0; i < authors03; i++){ System.out.println("Please write author books: " + authors); setBooks(scan.next()); anArray = new String[1]; } } public void result(){ anArray[0] = books; System.out.println("You have writed the author: " + authors); String[] setBooks = anArray; System.out.println("You have entered these authors books "+ java.util.Arrays.toString(setBooks)); //Program print me the last book. I want that the program print me all books. }
Then what's wrong???
"theArray[theIndex++] = theValue; // save theValue in theArray and incr the index"
I did: anArray[0] = books;
My rezult is the last book.
Re: Random variant.
That is the same as doing the following:anArray[0] = books;
int x;
x = 3;
x = 4;
x = 5;
and expecting x to remember it once had the values 3 and 4. That is NOT the way computers work. x can only have one value, the last one assigned.
anArray[0] is always the first element in the array and can only have the last value that is assigned to it
the code must use a variable instead of the 0 for its index. The variable must be incremented so it points to the next slot.

Re: Random variant.
Then how can I use the same "x" on my program?
anArray[0] = 1;
anArray[1] = 2;
anArray[2] = 3;
Re: Random variant.
Can you explain what you mean?use the same "x"
see posts #51 and #53

Re: Random variant.
Then why this is bad?
anArray[0] = books;
Re: Random variant.
That statement puts the current value of books in the first slot in the array.anArray[0] = books;
Do you want to save a different value of books in another slot in the array?
Where do you want to save the data about books that the user enters into the program?
If there is only one value for books and you want that one value saved as the first element in the array,
then that is the correct statement to do that.

Re: Random variant.
I want that the program print me all books where I inserted.
Re: Random variant.
Only one book's name can be stored in anArray[0]. If you want more than one name stored in the array, you need to use a variable for the index instead of [0]. When a name is stored in the array at the current value of the index, the code needs to change the value of the index to point to the next slot in the array.

Re: Random variant.
public void Authors(){ scan = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Please write the author: "); authors = scan.nextLine(); System.out.println("Please write how much author books you want to write: " + authors); authors03 = scan.nextInt(); scan.nextLine(); for(int i = 0; i < authors03; i++){ System.out.println("Please write author books: " + authors); books = scan.nextLine(); anArray = new String[2]; } } public void result(){ anArray[0] = books; anArray[1] = books; System.out.println("You have writed the author: " + authors); System.out.println("You have entered these authors books "+ (anArray[0])); System.out.println("You have entered these authors books "+ (anArray[1])); //Program print me the last book. I want that the program print me all books. }
My rezult is:
Please write the author: Lukas Please write how much author books you want to write: Lukas 2 Please write author books: Lukas Test1 Please write author books: Lukas Test2 You have writed the author: Lukas You have entered these authors books Test2 You have entered these authors books Test2
Please change the code that it would show me all my inserted...
I must insert how many books author has created.
For example:
System.out.println("Please write how much author books you want to write: " + authors);
And I must insert those books.
I understood that how many I create anArray, and there will the books. No.
I must insert how many be books, and I insert them...
I thing you undestand want I want to say. Please change my code and write it here. Thanks...I will learn.
Re: Random variant.
Can you write a small program for testing how to use arrays? Leave this program for now.
Put all the code for the test program in the main() method.
1)Define an array of int with 5 slots
2)write a loop that assigns the loop control variable to a slot in the array using the loop control variable as the index to the array.
3)write a second loop that goes through the array and prints the contents of each slot in the array.
You need to work on how arrays work and how to use them. A small test program will help you.

Re: Random variant.
I correct my program. No everything okey.
Re: Random variant.
Glad you got it working.
