Solved: Reading from an array in another class file

[cs thiang]

I have an array in a.java, den b.java is suppose to collect data and put inside the array in a.java. den I need c.java to read from the array to see wad b.java has entered.

If i use "a ent = new a;" I would get a blank array again...so how do i read from c.java to see what b.java has put in a.java's array?

Thanks in advance

If you declare the array in a.java as static, then it will be the same when you try to access it from c.java.

but when i put in "a ent = new a;" at c.java, won't i get a empty array again?

If the array is static, then you can access it by the class name instead of an object name. Thus, you don't need to instantiate a new object to get to the array. You would just use a.arrayName to access it.
