How to initialize an Array in this occasion?

[Ellen Zhao]

The following is a class that solves linear equation system with LU-decomposition algorithmus.I got the complainment "variable p might not have been initialized" and "variable result might not have been initialized" when compiled it. How to solve it? Thank you very much!

public static void main(String[] args){
int  size;
int[] p;
double[][] a;
double[] b, result;                  
double sum = 0;
double h;

System.out.println("Please enter an integer as the size of the matrix: ");
        InputStreamReader ir = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(ir);

try {
      String input;
      StringTokenizer stn;
      input = br.readLine();
      
      size = Integer.parseInt(input);
      a = new double[size][size];
      b = new double[size];

      for (  int j = 1; j <= size; j ++ ){
      a[i][j] = 1 / ( i + j - 1 );

For which variables do you get the errors, and in which lines?

Solved. Please delete this post. Thank you.
