I have been trying to find a straight answer to this question for 3 hours, thank you so much.

It works for me!!!

At last, simply elegant explanation.

Thank u so much.. I'm trying to find this for hours... Thanks a lot again

FFS at last, thank you so much. I have been looking for this for hours!

that is gr8 but actually it didnt work with me :(

what about this block of code..

FileInputStream fis= new FileInputStream('users.txt');
ObjectInputStream ois=new ObjectInputStream(fis);
byte [] usersfile = new byte[100];
int filesize=0;
try {
filesize= ois.read(usersfile);
} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();
}

here i'm trying to read from an existing file
but i get a nullpointerexception too.. and i donno the reason..
is it because of the byte array??!!

Excellent. This explains several days of work. Button grids and battleships here we come!!

Thank you very much. I was looking to try and figure out what was wrong with my applet and found this site and fixed it in a matter of minutes.

thank you so much

i've been stuck on this forever

Very nice!! thanks a lot

Its really a good example..and seeing this example i can solve my problem.

Great but how can I access what I'm trying to do. I have gone into my security and enable java scripting but still don't know how to access the site I want someone please help.

I'm getting the same error with a 2D Array. I have a contructor before my Main method looks like this:

public Forest(int size){
    size= n+2;
    int forest[][] = new int[size][size];
    forest[n][n]= 1;
    }


And here's my printarray method:

public static void printForest() {
   
    // Loop through the number of rows in the array.
    for (int row=0; row < forest.length; row++) {

    // Loop through the columns in the rowth row.
    for (int col=0; col < forest[row].length; col++){

        // Print out the [row][col] item from the array.
        System.out.print(forest[row][col] + ' ');
    }

    // Go to a new line after each row is printed.
    System.out.println();
    }
}

And Here's my main method:

public static void main(String[] args) throws NumberFormatException, IOException {
        BufferedReader keyboard = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in),1);
        Forest origForest = new Forest(Forest.forest);
       
        //get probability and size of the internal grid (n) from the user
        System.out.print('Enter an integer for the size of the forest:\n');
        int n = Integer.parseInt(keyboard.readLine());
        System.out.print('Enter a percentage for the probability that a tree will catch fire:\n');
        double probCatch = Double.parseDouble(keyboard.readLine());
        System.out.println(probCatch);
        System.out.println(n);
        System.out.println('Here's my forest:');
        printForest();
        System.out.println();
       
    }
   
I can't get the 2d array to print out.
Help?
Thanks

THANK GOD! Ive spent the past 2 hours trying to sort this out for a Uni project! Thanks a lot :)

I'm hoping this is the right place for posting my question. This is the error I'm getting in my code...
