Thread: Exceptions and exception handeling

Hello! So I decided to take a break from the previous task and move on to the next one.In this task I'm susposed to, without coding to predict the outcome of some programs that are given to us.I did a few but this one got me thinkin'.This is the code

 
class C {
	static int[] values; 
 
 static int len() {
	 return values.length;
 }
 
 public static void main(String[] args) {
	 len();
 }
}

Now I need to tell what error will hapen when I run the code and why. I'm guessing a NullPointerException, because the value of values is 0,and we are trying to return an object that is pointing to 0. Am I think right, is my logic okay? If not what am I missing.Thanks!

Actually I've only posted it here.

Well according to the rules of the assingment, no but I kinda did and my assumption seems to be correct I get an NullPointerException;

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at C.len(C.java:5)
at C.main(C.java:9)

I think that confirms what I have said, that the value of the array is 0, so the pointer is pointing to null(0) and with this method len i'm trying to get the value of the variable but since its 0 the compiler gets confused and gives me this error? Am I understanding the null pointer exception right or not?

Yea that is what i meant by 0 that it has null value. So I guess that covers this code?
