[jdjlist] Re: an error that I am getting and don't understand ????

There are two things you could do.  One is to instantiate an object of type Ex6 in your app:     Ex6 ex = new Ex6();   ...   int answer = ex.addint( table );   or make addint a static method.  The latter would seem the most logical as the method does not reference instance data.  There is also a small modification (if I may suggest) that will make it more robust -- it will handle empty arrays:     public static int addint( int [] array) {     int sum = 0;     for (int p = 0; p < array.length; p++) {       sum += array[p];     }     return sum;   }   In this case, of course, you would leave the calling statement as is: int answer = Ex6.addint( table );   Tomm -- Be careful when reading health books.  You might die of a misprint. - Mark Twain ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Nicholson To: jdjlist Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2003 5:23 AM Subject: [jdjlist] an error that I am getting and don't understand ???? Hi list,   The program that is involved in this case, is a very small one. It is to do with arrays which have been passed as parameters to methods -- my current topic. I am getting errors that I don't understand why I am getting them. Can someone help ?   ================================================================== ================================================================== public class Ex6 {        public int addint (int [] array)    {            int sum = array[0];           for (int p = 1; p < array.length; p++)     {      sum += array[p];             }//END OF for LOOP           return sum;           }// end of method       }//END OF CLASS   ================================================================== ==================================================================   import Ex6; public class Ex {    public static void main (String [] args)    {   //Ex6.5 as a class name does not work        int [] table = {3, 7, 9, 2};                 int answer = Ex6.addint(table);          }//End of main method }//End of class --- You are currently subscribed to jdjlist as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
