hmm need help with that too so how do I create a vector? Defining and initialization. and how do I add elements to the vector in a loop?

hmm i think a vector is more suitable for what I want so i'm gonna change everything to a vector now.

Just one last question!

How do I delete an element from my array?

1	myArray[i].splice(i,i);

splice() doesn't seem to work because i'm using a custom array.

}

All I get is just a successful run when I run the code.

Great that seems to work!

But now i'm wondering how to get information from each element.
when I try to print out a variable like this:

1	System.out.println("population: "+myArray.length);

It doesn't give me any numbers. It doesn't even print out the word within "".

How do you fill the array at the moment?

Mike

Well that is one of the thing i'm not sure if i'm doing right.

Now i'm doing a for loop which each turn creates a new object and use the push function to add it to the array:

1
2
3
4

for (int i = 0; i<10; i++){
            Person person = new Person();
            myArray.push(person);
        }

But the compiler says "Cannot find symbol" at the push function

So what I am trying to do is loop through an array filled with variables which are defined by my own class.

The class itself contains variables like integers and booleans, and I want to add other stuff later.

1
2
3
4

class Person {
        int life = 100;
        boolean alive = true;
    }

and then I want to create an array which i'm going to fill with variables from my class.

1	static Person myArray[];

Now here i'm starting to get problems.

I've tried to fill the array with variables from my clsas through a loop but without success.

And I'm guessing that's why I cant loop through my array like this:

1
2
3
4

for(int i=0; i<myArray.length; i++){
                if(myArray[i].alive == true){
                    ...
                }

Grateful for help!
