I'm not trying to actually do anything like this right now, but this just crossed my mind: if I were to create a class that would encapsulate say a string as a name identifier and lots of binary data, like a picture, how would I do that without direct memory access and pointers?

Data type for loads of binary data?
- Thread starter Sen7inel
- Start date
If the class is specifically designed to hold an image, all it would need is a String and an ImageIcon property.
public class Thingy
{
String s;
ImageIcon im;
public Thingy ( String s, ImageIcon im )
{
this.s = s;
this.im = im;
}
}
A more generic version might use a byte array, I suppose, if you wanted to store program binaries or something...
public class Thingy
{
String s;
ImageIcon im;
public Thingy ( String s, ImageIcon im )
{
this.s = s;
this.im = im;
}
