array objects?

[Brad Dwan]

Just wondering if is at all possible to 'store' an object within an array?

 
array[0] = new object1();
array[1] = new object2();
//etc...
 

At work (hence can't test it) and was just thinking about it, thought this would be a good question to ask people with a bit more experience.

Yes you can store objects in an array

In class Test array t is created which store 3 objects.

class Test
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		Test tObj1 = new Test();
		Test tObj2 = new Test();
		Test tObj3 = new Test();
		Test[] t = new Test[4];
		t[0] = tObj1;
		t[1] = tObj2;
		t[2] = tObj3;
		System.out.println (t[0]);
		System.out.println (t[1]);
		System.out.println (t[2]);
		
	}
}

}

Very nice, thank you for your help.

cheers mate Studying Bachelors of Computing and the first two years are based on Java, then a year of C++. Kind of strange really, would've thought that C++ would be more dominant. I've done a lot of PHP in my time so OOP and procedural programming, although I'm not used to such a 'strict' language, so it's a nice change

Arrays unlike Collections can store anything which means: Objects and primitives .
The only problem which I see with arrays is the compulsion of knowing the size before when creating its Object but on the other hand Collections gives us a lot flexibility .

Why? It hasn't been, for some time now.
