Specifying array size with constructor
Specifying array size with constructor
I found some answers on this but I probably didn't understand it correctly because it didn't work for me
Employee is an object defined in another class
Employee
public class Firm {
Employee employees;
public Firm (int rosterSize){
this.employees = new employees[rosterSize];
}
}
Error: cannot find symbol, class employees
My question: how can I specify the size of the array employees with a constructor?
If your class name is
Employee, it should be new Employee[rosterSize]– Eran

Employee employees; makes no sense... Should be Employee employees; that is an array of Employee instances in a variable named employees...– Usagi Miyamoto

You need create Employee array, try this:
Employee
this.employees = new Employee[rosterSize];
I thought I tried that already but I must have made a typo before. case solved thanks.

public Firm (int rosterSize){
this.employees = new Employee[rosterSize]; // the class name is what you need
}
Thats simple. It has to be Object Name not its variable Name.
public class Firm {
Employee employees;
public Firm (int rosterSize){
this.employees = new Employee[rosterSize];
}
}
