I am new to programming in Java, hope someone can help.
A good group for beginners in Java is comp.lang.java.help.
Please look at the following code:
Sure.
package George;
public class TestCat
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int[] car1 = {5, 4};
int[] maker1 = {3, 6, 6, 2};
Cat num1 = new Cat(car1, maker1);
_____________________________________
This calls a new class Cat as follows . . . .
_____________________________________
package George;
public class Cat
{
private int[] carId;
private int[] makerId;
/**
* Creates a new instance of Cat
*/
public Cat(int[] anCarId, int[] aMakerId)
{
}
Question, the Cat class uses two array arguments and uses them to set
value of car identifier and maker identifier.
Questions in English, generally end with a '?'.
That makes it easier for people scanning the code,
to quickly identify the question.
But as to the answer, I am guessing it is as simple as..
carId = anCarId;
makerId = aMakerId;
..within the constructor of Cat.
BTW, how are Cats (felines, puss-puss) related to
Cars (automobiles)?
Another note, while I am here, is that normal
Java nomenclature suggests all package names
should be entirely lower case, so 'George' should
be called 'george'. If you change it, you will also
need to change the directory name in which the
source resides.
