    Default Initialization of a class

    I'm trying to initialize a class like this, but I get NullPointerException. What is wrong with it?


    public class TreeNode {
    private char letter;
    private TreeNode[] link;

    public void set_letter(char letter) {
    this.letter = letter;
    }

    public char get_letter() {
    return letter;
    }

    public TreeNode(char c){
    // Initialize the node
    set_letter(c);
    // Default value for links is NULL
    for(int i=0; i<10; i++){
    link[i] = null;
    }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    TreeNode tn = new TreeNode((char)97);
    }

    }

    I don't see where you initialize the array.
