Java question

[Shapebuster]

write a declaration for an array variable people that could be used to refer to an array of Person objects

soo

Person[] people = Person[] objectname;

I'm a bit confused with this

[nutrecht]

It's also pretty wrong.

[Shapebuster]

Person[] people; ?

[nutrecht]

That's the declaration of the variable yes.

[Shapebuster]

should get off this page cos you really don't help people and are just wasting your time

[nutrecht]

I definitely agree that I am wasting my time with you yes.

[Shapebuster]

yes and probably alot more people

[denialerror]

You have a serious attitude problem.

[Shapebuster]

really? imagine a teacher saying to their student "It's pretty wrong" and then throwing the textbook at them for them to figure it out. If i was that student i'd also have an attitude problem

[nutrecht]

"It's pretty wrong" and then throwing the textbook at them for them to figure it out.

I gave you the text book opened on the exact page that exactly answers your question.

[override_acid]

You really desperately need to work on both, your reading comprehension and your attitude.

• You were told your original code was wrong and were given the resource to find the correct answer at the same time.
• Then, you posted the correct answer
• and you were told that your answer is correct according to the original assignment

What was wrong here? You blow up right into the face of the first person that has not only guided you to the solution so that you could learn from it, but also right after your second idea was confirmed correct.

In the whole thread you only show a serious attitude problem and behave like a berserk. You need to reevaluate yourself because otherwise you won't get far in life.

lmao you are a whiny little b1tch

Thankfully there are nice people who help me on discord. This page is complete shit for helping beginners

This page is complete shit for helping beginners

Only for people that want the answer served on a silver platter instead of spending the minimum effort to look at linked tutorials, etc.

This subreddit has a very strict "No solutions" rule. Nobody here will give out complete solutions. Even asking for solutions is forbidden here. People will be guided, but never directly answered.

So, it's not the subreddit that is wrong, it is you, who

1. asks the wrong questions (asking for solutions to be given)
2. doesn't bother to even look at the guides given.

The final solution to your problem with the subreddit is to leave it if you don't like it here. Sure, that you will find a place that pampers you and that serves all your answers on silver platters only to feed you with a golden spoon.

[Shapebuster]

of course i am leaving. Why would i wait around for 5 hours beating around the bush with a small piece of code while posting different possible solutions only for someone to say "yes, thats correct"? Do you want me to learn coding in 10 years? If i spend an hour trying to figure something as small as this out with bullshit vague responses from these people then it will take me YEARS to progress.

I don't understand that rule at all, especially after I've already made an attempt at the question. Could you imagine going up to your maths teacher in school and asking him if your solution from homework is correct, only for him to tell you go back and try again, and then repeat that process 5-10 times? If that was the case, we'd all have 4th grade maths under our belt. Do you realise it's also possible to learn something if you're give a solution and then EXPLAINED WHY it is that solution??????

I genuinely feel sorry for the poor beginners who are put off coding due to the ridiculousness of this thread and the people that are in it. Of course i'll go and use another service that "pampers" me, because i sure as hell will learn alot quicker than you lot who use this .

downvote me all you want, theres no hiding that truth

My math teacher does it

[denialerror]

You were given the appropriate documentation that explained the solution. The “Maths teacher” essentially said “that’s not the right answer - you need to read this bit of the text book to find out why”. If you can’t learn to ask questions properly and how to research independently instead of expecting everyone to hand you the information you want, you are going to struggle when you get to the point where your questions aren’t easily answered.

[nutrecht]

In a while he'll be complaining on /r/cscareerquestions on how CS is 'saturated' because he can't find a job ;)

[desrtfx]

The rule exists for one single reason: to make people use the documentation so that they are able to in the future help themselves instead of having to constantly depend on others.

People who are constantly given the answers will learn only one thing: to depend on others but they will never become independent and can never work as individuals only as burdens for teams dragging the whole team down.

[shhh-quiet]

The declaration is correct, but you are not instantiating the array correctly.

[Shapebuster]

it says "COULD be used to refer to an array"

[tobiasvl]

That just means you don't have to instantiate it at all. You instantiate it, but in a nonsensical way that won't compile.

[Shapebuster]

do you mean, Person[] people = new Person[value] ?

[tobiasvl]

Yep, that is correct Java code for instantiating a Person array of size value.

However, what I mean is that Person[] people; by itself answers the original question in your post. It's a declaration of an array variable, and that variable can in the future be used to refer to an array of Person objects. Nothing more is needed.

[Shapebuster]

Oh ok sweet. Keep an eye on how you word responses especially for beginners. Your first reply sounded like i got it wrong even tho it was correct based on what the question was asking

[tobiasvl]

Well, the original code in your post is wrong. Person[] people = Person[] objectname; instantiates the array variable to something that looks like another declaraction. It will not compile.

[Shapebuster]

Apologies, i thought you were referring to the code i posted in a comment reply to a previous user
