    Unhappy HELP PLZ !!

    Hi ALL ..

    I'm having problems with this program ..

    The Program is clinical laboratory ..

    This Code for choosing what you want to do ..

    press (1) open new file .. press (2) for open existing file ..

    The IDEA : I will use Arrays to store each Patien name and gender .. when I want to open an existing file ..
    I will search for the name is it found or not .. if not .. I will open a new file .. I f yes .. I will display it on the screen ..

    There are ERRORS in the program .. and I'm a noob in arrays ..

    the code is :

    Main Class :

    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class PTest
    {
     
    	public static void main(String[] args)
    	{
     
    	Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        	int arraylength=10;
    	String[] PatientName={"------","------","------","------","------","------","------","------","------","------"};
      	String[] Gender={"------","------","------","------","------","------","------","------","------","------"};
    	System.out.printf("%s\t\t %s\t\t","(1)Open New File","(2)Open Existing File");
     
             	int x=input.nextInt();
             	P obj= new P (PatientName,Gender);
     
                if(x==1) 
             	{
             		obj.showfiles();
             		System.out.println("Enter the number of file");
             		int y=input.nextInt();
     
             		obj.newPatient(y);
              if (x==2)
             	{   
     
             		 obj.showfiles();
             		 obj.searchName();
                         }
     
    }

    the Second Class :

    Because you don't store the name and gender to the name and gender fields in the patient constructor - you add them to an array for some unexplained reason (why would a patient need multiple names and multiple genders??).

    If you stepped through the code by hand, you'd spot this in a minute.

    You'll declare those arrays static so they are shared by the patients - the way it is, every patient will have their own arrays with only their own details in them.

    BUT I Dunno How to Correct my CODE ..
    You could try what I suggested before - store the name and gender to the name and gender fields in the patient constructor.

         	public void setPatientName(String name)
    			{  
    			 int i;
    		     System.out.print("\nEnter the name: ");
    			 name = input.next();
    		     for(i=0; i<patientName.length; i++)
    				 {
    				  patientName[i]=name;
                      break;
    				 }
    i guess its this, the for loop, you breaked it. patientName[0] thus name becomes null too as the value of 0 position in the array is a null. therefore you're printing null values

    The whole loop is wrong, but that's not the problem.
