just check this...

guess the error/exception generated in this code:
//code
1 ublic class Base{
2:
3: int array[];
4:
5: private void test() {
6: System.out.println("Value is: " + array[0]);
7: }
8:
9: static public void main(String[] a) {
10: new Base().test();
11: }
12:
}
//code end
i wasn't exactly expecting this exception. any comments....

Right now i can think of 2 exceptions
one is ArrayIndexOutOfBounds and the other one is can't call that method because void type does not return a value.

[Val Dra]

oh another one is static is before public , don't know about that type of error though

[Val Dra]

scratch my previouse replys to this didn't look well you'll get an error saying that it's not been initilized so the reference is null since arrays are considered to be objects in java .

[Lori Battey]

Problem I see is that the array doesn't know it's size...

[Anshuman Acharya]

well val got it! it is a NullPointerException...
well done, val! if you did it without the compiling...

[Anshuman Acharya]

I think that this error comes coz in line 6 the toString() method of the array[0] is called but since it is a null...
i was just curious about what other exceptions/errors can be thrown in different operations with uninitialized arrays...
any comments?
