Question about arrays

[jisoo22]

Hello everyone!

I have a question about arrays. I was generally under the assumptiong that you could call a method from an object that's stored in an array directly, for instance as follows:

stuff s[];
s = new stuff[3];
//Assuming the 's' class object has a get method
s[1].get();

I have something similar in my program but I keep getting an error message that says it can't resolve the symbol 's' from the last line. This creates a problem as I'm using a for loop to run through my array so that I can get to each object's method and output a string result. Can anyone tell me if I'm doing this right or wrong?

Thanks,
Jisoo22

I'm not sure what you are doing wrong - I'm guessing a simple syntax error. The below seems to work, maybe it'll help ...

String a = "abc";
String b[] = new String[2];
b[0] = "ced";
b[1] = "abc";
System.out.println(b[0].equals(a));
System.out.println(b[1].equals(a));

jisoo22,

do you initialize your array (like sedj does) with objects of type "stuff" ?
