Adding user-created objects to an Array

Question

I would be grateful if anyone can help me. I have created the following class:
import java.util.*;
* Created on 08-Dec-2005
* @author Hussein Patwa
public class room {
    public String roomName;
// String to hold the room name
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    String roomName;
    // Temp string to hold room name
    LinkedList objectqueue = new LinkedList();
    // Queue implementation to hold list of objects in room
    LinkedList stack = new LinkedList();
    // Stack implementation to hold objects held by user
public void enterRoomName(String roomName) {
    // Method to allow entering of the room name
    this.roomName = roomName;
    // Assignment the room name to the roomName field
public void viewRoomName() {
    // Method to allow the viewing of the room name
    System.out.println("This is the " + roomName + " ");
    // Print the room name
}I also have a main class:
import java.util.*;
* Created on 08-Dec-2005
  * @author Hussein Patwa
public class start extends room {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
  String gameName = "PatwaMaze";
  // Field to hold the game name
  room[] roomList = new room[6];
  // Create a new array to hold the rooms
public void startGame() {
roomList.add["Kitchen"];
roomList.add["Parlour"]
roomList.add["Lounge"]
roomList.add["Stairs"]
roomList.add["Chamber"]
roomList.add["Study"]
}I want to create an array of room objects, or would it be more correct to say object references, and then have their labels as the room name, which would be stored in that room's roonName field. So then I can iterate through the list, and print out each room's roomName field thus giving a list of the rooms. So (and I hope this is making sense), I need to add the rooms to the array, set each room's rromName field and then iterate through it. But I'm not sure of the syntax to add the room's name and the array index.
BTW, I have done quite a bit of searching for this, as well as looked through several texts, so I am posting here because i'm not sure where to go next.
Thanks.
Hussein.

Short answer: There's no add method. That woul be in a Collection.

For an array, it's arr[0] = something;
arr[1] = somethingElse;
/ / etc.
