I don't see an array declared anywhere (?). Do you know how to declare an array?

Also, when you post code you need to enclose it in "Code" tags. Above the edit window are some buttons, one of which is Code. First highlight your code, then click that button.

To declare an array of int's
The first "[]" says we are declaring an array, and the "[ 10 ]" allocates room for 10 int's'.

You have
You could make each one an array but you'd be asking for trouble trying to keep them in sync.
The best approach is to define a class (e.g.) Person with those fields. and then allocate one array of Person objects.

I suggest you Google "java array tutorial" and study some of those. This TUTORIAL looked good. I also suggest writing some very small programs to practice, put your current project aside for now.

You need to declare the array, that's why you're getting errors. Hope this helped!

When you post, be sure it adds something to the thread.  This advice was already given.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
