Question

Forgive my ignorance, but I am a beginner in java that comes from using structured programming and I don’t know how I can do something similar to include in c, php or other similar languages.

I have a main class that contains a quite big array. I would like know how to separate the array putting it into another file or class and make something like an include in the main class to use this array

I want the array initialized in the file or external class and then from the main class just call the resort.

How I can do this? Can anyone post an example?

Thanks!

You can define your array as a public static final array in its own class and access it from any other class.

public class MyArray {
    public final static String [] myArray = { "one", "two", "three" } ;
}



public class MyMain {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (String s : MyArray.myArray ) {
            System.out.println( s );
        }
    }
}
