For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Urgent Problem

Posted by rickysri (rickysri), 13 September 2006
I have created a Java Program named Array.java and a test class named TestArray.java.I have a problem in using the accessor in the TestArray class...I get a java.lang.nullpointerexception...Can someone help me This is urgent!!!!

TEST CLASS

   import java.util.Collections;  
      public class TestArrys
  {
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
        int[] ary1 = new int[5];
        System.out.print("Length="+ary1.length+"\n");
        for (int j=0;j<=40;j=j+10)
        {
           ary1[j/10]=j;
           System.out.print(" " +ary1[j/10]);
        }
        int[] ary2= {3,5,9,11,15,18,22,23,30,31,35,39};
        System.out.print("\n\nLength="+ary2.length+"\n");
        for (int element:ary2)
        {
           System.out.print(" " +element);
        }
                 Arrys myArrayObject[]=new Arrys[10];
                 for (int i=0;i<myArrayObject.length;i++)
                 {
                    myArrayObject[i]=new Arrys();
                     System.out.print(" "+myArrayObject[i].getNums());
                 }
                  // for (int k=0;k<=40;k=k+10)
//                  {
//                   myArrayObject[k].setNums(ary1);
//                  }
//                  for(int element:ary2)
//                  {
//                   myArrayObject[element].setNums(ary2);
//                   System.out.print(myArrayObject[element].getNums());
//                  }
           }
     }


   import java.lang.*;  
      public class Arrys
  {
    int[] nums;
       int[] args;
    //convert args to integer using the Integer wrapper class            
      public Arrys()//constructor
     {
              int[] nums=new int[100];
        for (int n=0;n< 100;n++)
        {
           nums[n]=n;
        }
     }
      public int[] getNums() //accessor
     {
        return nums;
     }
           public void setNums(int[] temp) //mutator
           {
            nums=temp;
            for (int k=0;k<temp.length;k++)
            {
             nums[k]=k;
            }
           }//end main
  }//end class

Rick, we can't do "urgent" here ... see the FAQ.  As it's some 8 hours since you posted, I suspect that you've already found a solution elsewhere or the boat has been missed.  However, if the question is still live, please post up the complete exception message so that we can see more of where it occurred and not just the type of exception.

From a very brief scan of your code I didn't spot anything obvious, but you might to well to reduce the problem to a few lines - that would at least help us help you, and at best help you to isolate the problem yourself ... all the "ary2" stuff appears to be irellevant to the question, as does the chunk of code that's commented out.

Hi,

Looks like you are doing some coursework learning Java?

Output from the code as you posted it:
Code:
bash-2.05b$ java TestArrys      
Length=5
0 10 20 30 40

Length=12
3 5 9 11 15 18 22 23 30 31 35 39 null null null null null null null null null nullbash-2.05b$
bash-2.05b$


After changing  1 line (I will leave it to you to find out what of your Arrys constructor we get:

Code:
bash-2.05b$ javac Arrys.java
bash-2.05b$ java TestArrys
Length=5
0 10 20 30 40

Length=12
3 5 9 11 15 18 22 23 30 31 35 39 [I@82ba41 [I@923e30 [I@130c19b [I@1f6a7b9 [I@7d772e [I@11b86e7 [I@35ce36 [I@757aef [I@d9f9c3 [I@9cab16bash-2.05b$


Which looks like it is displaying the raw references to an array returned by getNums().

Good luck!
