Please help..an Array

Please show me how to set up an array with initial a size
(size is undetermine).
String[][] temp =new String[0][3];
is it correctly for unknown row size and 3 columns??
thanks

why? :-)
if the size is undetermine, why set to initial size.
Any what is "initial" size ? ;-)
Just set the object to null like:
String[][] temp = null;
when you know the size, construct the array object to that size.
That's it.

  • Please help, 2D Array of Vectors and Incompatible types :(

    I have a 2D array of vectors called nodeLocations but when I try and access the vector inside I get a compile error.
    My code is something like this:
    nodeLocations[j].addElement(noArc)
    My editor picks up that its a Vector and shows me addElement as an acceptable entry to put after the "." yet the compiler says:
    "addElement(java.lang.Object) in java.util.Vector cannot be applied to (int)"
    Can someone please help?
    Thank you in advance.
    also a related problem:
    I get inconvertible types (says int required) when I try and get an element from a vector stored in a 2D Array. I know that it comes out as an object and so should be cast but it does not seem to work. My code is as follows:
    else if (((int)(nodeLocations[nodeNumber][adjNodeNumber].elementAt(0))) != distance)
    I would appreciate any help anyone can give.
    Similar errors to the above two happen when
    I try a push with a Stack in a vector.
    I try to get something out of the stack inside the vector.

    The Vector class's addElement() method requires an Object parameter. It appears that you're trying to add an int to the Vector. You'll need to create an Integer object and place that into the vector (see sample below) or use the pre-release version of JDK 1.5 which provides autoboxing capabilities.
    int z = 5;
    Integer x = new Integer(z);
    nodeLocations[j].addElement(x);

  • Please Help With Arrays

    I really need some help with the following two methods:
    - A method fillArray() that accepts an integer array as a parameter and fills the array with random integers. I am encouraged to use Math.random()
    - A method printArray() that accepts an integer array as a parameter and outputs every element of the array to the standard output device. I am encouraged to use print instead of println in order to save paper.
    Thanks so much for your help.

  • Simple array comparison not working. Please HELP!

    I have been struggling to solve this problem for a few days now, and I'm slowly losing my mind.
    I am in Adobe Acrobat 10.
    I have a group of button fields called: btn0, btn1, btn2, etc.
    I have a group of text fields called: txt0, txt1, txt2, etc.
    I have a script that takes the value of txt0 and makes it the caption for btn0, and so on.
    I have a script that sets the MouseUp action of btn0 to setFocus to txt0, and so on.
    These scripts work fine.
    I have a script that takes the values of all the txt fields and puts them in an array, and sorts it.
    I have a script that takes the array[0] item and makes it the caption for btn0, and so on (alphabetizing my list of buttons).
    Those scripts work fine.
    I am trying to compare the value of the array[0] item to each of the txt fields to find the match, and then set the MouseUp action of btn0 to setFocus to the matching txt field, and so on (so my alphabetized list points to the correct locations).
    This is where I'm at a loss.
    Here is what I have:
    //specified the txt fields
    var txt0 = this.getField("Z name");
    var txt1 = this.getField("A name");
    //etc.
    //put their values into an array called rxArray
    var rxArray = [txt0.value, txt1.value]; //etc.
    //sorted the array
    rxArray.sort();
    //set the captions equal to the sorted array items
    for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        var b = ("btn" + i);
        this.getField(b).buttonSetCaption(rxArray[i]); //works fine; alphabetizes the list of buttons
        //below is what goes wrong
        for(var x = 0; x < 5; x++) {
            var r = ("txt" + x);
            if(rxArray[i] == r.value){
                var s = (r + ".setFocus();");
                this.getField(b).setAction("MouseUp", s);
    //end
    Here is what I know:
    The alphabetizing and labeling works fine, but the buttons' MouseUp scripts don't work at all. Nothing happens.
    If I change the following piece of the above script:
            if(rxArray[i] == r.value){
                var s = (r + ".setFocus();");
                this.getField(b).setAction("MouseUp", s);
    To this:
            if(rxArray[i] == txt1.value){
                var s = (r + ".setFocus();");
                this.getField(b).setAction("MouseUp", s);
    Because rxArray[0] does equal the value of txt1 ("A name"), then the MouseUp script for btn0 gets set to:
    txt4.setFocus();
    So I know that, each time the nested loop runs, the if statement is true, and the setFocus script updates. Until the end of the loop, leaving the setFocus as the last item run. So why doesn't my script work? It should only update the setFocus script IF the array item matches the txt field, and should set it to THAT txt field.
    Please please help. I know I'm missing something simple in there somewhere.

    @Try67:
    That's a good question. I was running into some other issues and have revamped my code. Here is what I have in my test file:
    A list of five buttons and a list of five text fields. One additional button that sets the focus to the next empty text field to add a new item, and two additional buttons, one that sorts my list alphabetically, and one that unsorts it.
    with the following field names
    The sort button calls function sortName and the unsort calls function sortNumber (the order of entry).
    Here are those scripts in final form:
    function sortName() {
    //first reset the captions for the buttons to blank
    for (var a = 0; a < 5; a++) {
        var b = ("btn" + a);
        this.getField(b).buttonSetCaption("");
    var txt0 = this.getField("t0");
    var txt1 = this.getField("t1");
    var txt2 = this.getField("t2");
    var txt3 = this.getField("t3");
    var txt4 = this.getField("t4");
    var rxArray = [txt0.value, txt1.value, txt2.value, txt3.value, txt4.value];
    for(var m = rxArray.length - 1; m > -1; m--){
        if(rxArray[m] == ""){
            rxArray.splice(m, 1);
    rxArray.sort();
    var newArray = [txt0, txt1, txt2, txt3, txt4];
    for(var n = newArray.length - 1; n > -1; n--){
        if(newArray[n].value == ""){
            newArray.splice(n, 1);
    for (var i = 0; i < rxArray.length; i++) {
        var b = ("btn" + i);
        this.getField(b).buttonSetCaption(rxArray[i]);
        for (var x = 0; x < newArray.length; x++) {
            if(rxArray[i] == newArray[x].value){
                var s = ("this.getField('" + newArray[x].name + "').setFocus();");
                this.getField(b).setAction("MouseUp", s);
    //end
    function sortNumber() {
    var txt0 = this.getField("t0");
    var txt1 = this.getField("t1");
    var txt2 = this.getField("t2");
    var txt3 = this.getField("t3");
    var txt4 = this.getField("t4");
    var newArray = [txt0, txt1, txt2, txt3, txt4];
    for (var x = 0; x < newArray.length; x++) {
        var b = ("btn" + x);
        this.getField(b).buttonSetCaption(newArray[x].value);
        var s = ("this.getField('" + newArray[x].name + "').setFocus();");
        this.getField(b).setAction("MouseUp", s);
    //end
    As you can see, I've used the array lengths rather than fixed numbers, except when clearing the button values. I use a number there because there is no array to reference and didn't feel like making an array just for that. The number of buttons won't change.
    I've also added in a splice() method to remove the blank entries from my arrays when appropriate (making using the array length even more important).
    The result of the sort is:
    The only quirk I've found in all this is with the Add New button, which calls function addNew, which is:
    function addNew() {
    var txt0 = this.getField("t0");
    var txt1 = this.getField("t1");
    var txt2 = this.getField("t2");
    var txt3 = this.getField("t3");
    var txt4 = this.getField("t4");
    var newArray = [txt0, txt1, txt2, txt3, txt4];
    for (var i =  newArray.length - 1; i > -1 ; i--) {
        if (newArray[i].value == "") {
            newArray[i].setFocus();
    //end
    For this, I would have though that running through the array from start to finish looking for the first empty text field and setting the focus to it would have been correct. But that resulted in the last empty text field being focused. So I reversed the for loop to run finish to start, and the result was that the first empty field was focused. Not sure why that is...

  • ARRAY and records at multiple level ? please help

    Hi experts!!
    I am struck up with a problem. If u can please help me.
    I need a structure of this type.
    create type GRADE as object(
    grade varchar2(30)
    / -- works fine , creates
    create type GRADE_ARRAY as VARRAY(10) of GRADE;
    / -- works fine and creates
    create type SPECIES as object
    Species_number number,
    array_of_grade GRADE_ARRAY
    / works fine
    create type SPECIES_ARRAY as VARRAY(20) of SPECIES;
    -- error comes here.. Can not have multiple level..type error
    and so can not go ahead. In fect I wanted to use next level also. like this.
    The next command remains my dream only then because I could not create the SPECIES ARRAY it self..
    create type TIMBER as object
    timber_mark varchar2(6),
    no_species number,
    array_of_species(20) SPECIES_ARRAY
    the problem is for multiple level ARRAY AND RECORD/object combination..
    I tried with OBJECT AND VARRAY it does only for one level.. not even two level.

    I think multi-level collections was first implemented in 9.2. You failed to mention what version of the DB you are using.

  • Creating an Array of external JPGs, please help.

    So what I want to do is load up external JPGs into an Array of MovieClips, and then go to the main onEnterFrame function. My code is below:
    var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var imageArray:Array = new Array();
    function loadImage():void {
        for (i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
            imageLoader.load(new URLRequest("image" + String(i) + ".jpg"));   
            imageArray[i] = new MovieClip();
            imageArray[i].addChild(imageLoader);
        addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterFrame);
    I tried adding an Event.COMPLETE function I found:
    imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
    function imageLoaded(e:Event):void {
         var image:Bitmap = (Bitmap)(e.target.content);
         imageArray[i] = new MovieClip();
         imageArray[i].addChild(image);
    Unfortunately, I usually only ended up with 1 or 0 images, and errors. I can't seem to properly pass the i
    value, so that's a big problem because the order the images go is key to my program.
    Please help me get this working so my image gallery can work, thanks!

    So the problem is that you want them in the array in the same sequence am I right on this?
    See the updated code:
    var imageArray:Array = new Array();
    var imageLoader:Array = new Array();
    function loadImage():void {
        for (i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
            var imageLoader[i] = new Loader();
            imageArray[i] = new MovieClip();
            imageLoader.load(new URLRequest("image" + String(i) + ".jpg"));   
            imageArray[i].addChild(imageLoader[i]);
            //imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
        addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterFrame);
    /* function imageLoaded(e:Event):void {
         var image:Bitmap = (Bitmap)(e.target.content);
         imageArray[index].addChild(image);
    In this case you can not track whether an image is loaded or not. It is the most simplest way of doing this. If your images are not coming from dynamic sources and are fixed in number and position you can use this method also.

  • How to create an array - Please help

    Hello. I have been trying to build a dynamic menu. According to different user role, they would have different access options to use the form.

Somebody told me I can use an array, but I am not sure how to achieve this, and how to display the menu to user. Please help me. Thank you.

    Hi
    Arrays in Form are implemented through Record Groups. However you can enable and disable a menu item throught database roles.

    hi, I suggest you make an array of byte arrays
    --> Byte[][] and use one row for each number
    you can do 2 things,
    take each cipher of one number and put one by one in each column of the row correspondent to that number. of course it may take too much room if the int[] is too big, but that is the easiest way I think
    the other way is dividing your number into bitsets(class BitSet) with sizes of 8 bits and then you can save each bit into each column of your array. and you still have one number in each row. To put your numbers back use the same class.
    Maybe someone has an easier way, I couldnt think of any.

  • Absolute Distinct count in Array -----Please help me out

    I'm running out of time and i have no clues to solve it.......can you please help me on it....
    The Absolute Distinct Count on Sorted Array is the count of
    distinct absolute values of elements of the array.
    For example, for the array.
    *[-5, -3, -1, 0, 3, 6]*
    the absolute distinct count is 5, because there is 5 distinct
    absolute values:
    *0, 1, 3, 5, 6*
    Write a function that computes the absolute distinct count
    of a given array.

    No, above code wouldn't work. Though it will give distinct count, but not absolute distinct count.
    Code to get absolute distinct count of elements in an array:
         public static void main(String args[]){
              int[] values = { -5, -3, -1, 0, 3, 6 };
              List<Integer> list=new ArrayList<Integer>();
              int tempVal=0;
              for(int val : values){
                   tempVal=Math.abs(val);
                   if(!list.contains(tempVal)){
                        list.add(tempVal);
              System.out.println("Absolute distinct count: "+list.size());
              System.out.println("Absolute distinct elements: "+list.toString());                    
         }Thanks,
    Mrityunjoy

  • Please help---merge function for two arrays.

    I am trying to create a merge function that merges two sorted arrays into a third array. I know what I am supposed to do, at least in theory, but I have been completely unsuccessful with actually getting the code to work. Since it is private, you can't directly access the arrays, you have to just reference them. could someone please help me out.
    import java.io.*;
    class OrdArray
    private long[] a;
    private int nElms;
    public OrdArray(int max)
    a = new long[max];
    nElms = 0;
    public int size()
    { return nElms;}
    public int find(long searchKey)
    int lowerBound = 0;
    int upperBound = nElms-1;
    int curIn;
    while(true)
    curIn = (lowerBound + upperBound) / 2;
    if(a[curIn]==searchKey)
    return curIn;
    else if (lowerBound > upperBound)
    return nElms;
    else
    if(a[curIn] < searchKey)
    lowerBound = curIn + 1;
    else
    upperBound = curIn - 1;
    public void insert(long value)
    int j;
    for(j=0; j<nElms; j++)
    if(a[j] > value)
    break;

    System.out.print(a[j] + " ");
    System.out.println("");
    public void merge(OrdArray array, OrdArray array1)
    }//this is the start of the merge function. I am stuck and not real sure where to go from here.
    public long getElm(int index)
    return a[index];
    }//end class OrdArray
    class OrderedApp
    public static void main(String[]args)
    int maxSize = 100;
    OrdArray arr, arr1, arr2;
    arr = new OrdArray(maxSize);
    arr1 = new OrdArray(maxSize);
    arr2 = new OrdArray(maxSize);
    arr.insert(77);
    arr.insert(99);
    arr.insert(44);
    arr.insert(55);
    arr.insert(22);
    arr1.insert(88);
    arr1.insert(11);
    arr1.insert(00);
    arr1.insert(66);
    arr1.insert(33);
    arr2.merge(arr, arr1);
    arr.display();
    System.out.println("--------------------");
    arr1.display();
    System.out.println("--------------------");
    arr2.display();
    }

    If I use ArrayList<Long>, would I have to change private long[]a to ArrayList<long>, cause if so, I am not able to do that.
    I am supposed to add a merge() method to megre the two source arrays into an ordered destination array.
    public void merge(OrdArray array, OrdArray array1)
    mergeSize = array.nElems + array1.nElems;
    int i = 0;
    int j = 0;
    int k = 0;
    while (i = 0; i < array.nElems; i++) {
              if {array.getElm(i) < array1.getElm(j)
                                                              //how do you move to the next set of values
                                                              //and to move which variables are incremented
                                                              //how do you test if the flush loop should be      called, hint if( == )
                   while (j = mergeSize - array.nElems; j <= mergeSize; j++) { 
                                   this.a[j] = array1.a;
    //again how do you move to next value and placeholder
         //which indices are incremented
    //copy/paste and change the variables for the other value being smaller
    public long getElm(int index)
    return a[index];
    this is all I have started, but i don't really understand all the comments because I haven't used java in a long time. Like I said, I understand what needs to be done and what order to do it in, but getting the code down to do that is really rough

  • Please help/Array sorting

    Please , people help.. I am novice in the Java programming and working on the following problem right now.: Using a single-subscripted array need an applet that inputs 5 numbers, each of which betwee 10 and 100, inclusive. As each number is read,display it only if it is not a duplicate of a number already read. Have to provide for the "worst case" in which all 5 numbers are different . Need a smallest possible array to solve this problem.. Please help. Sitting here and can not do anything abt it..Need code..Sincerely A.

    Have you attempted to do anything at all? Why should
    we help you pass a class so that you can be dead
    weight on our development projects later?this is genius! amen.

  • Please Help me on recreating deleted arrays

    Hi,
    I'm trying to recreate a deleted array as follows:
    array=null;
    Array array[] = new Array[100];
    addToArray("elem1","elem2","elem3");
    but doesn't work. I'm unable to recreate/populate the array. Can someone please help me with this?
    I declared the array null first because the array was previously existing.
    What I need to do is to be able to add array elements dynamically and delete some at the same time.
    Deleting some elements seemed to be a complicated process so I thought of deleting the entire array instead then just recreate it and populate with required elements. I should keep the same array name.
    Thanks!
    Anna

    array=null;
    Array array[] = new Array[100]; // on this line you declare the variable array once again : the compiler doesn't accept it.
    addToArray("elem1","elem2","elem3");
    What I need to do is to be able to add array elements
    dynamically and delete some at the same time. You can also give a look at the Collection
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/collections/implementations/general.html
    and especially the class "ArrayList" http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/util/ArrayList.html
    This class provides methods to add, delete element and dynamically enlarge the array.
    Good luck
