Best way to do this? array help

Question

I have 2 classes, an Order class and a Shop class. In the Order class, I have a toString() method returning a string (all the info of the order)
Shop class has an object array made up of Order classes. One method of Shop class is to getListofOrders. In my assignment, it is described vaguely as "returning an array containing all the orders in the Shop class".
Can I assume that the array I am returning is a String array?
public String[] getListOfOrders()
String[] strArray = new String[30];
for (int i=0; i<strArray.length; i++)
strArray[i] = shopArray.toString();
return strArray;
is this the best way to return a list of information of alll the orders in the Shop class? Any better ways to suggest? Should I return it as a String array anyway?

Answer 1

i think in your question they want you fill the array in the code
public order[] getlistoforders(){
return shopArray;//returning an array containing all the orders in the Shop class
}they just want you to have a getter method. they dont want string array they want an array containing order objects
