Question

I am trying to create an Array with all these values form the Detail Class. Is there a better way of creating this array?

Details[] DetailsArray = new Details[10];
        Details Details = new Details();
        Details Details2 = new Details();
        Details Details3 = new Details();
        Details Details4 = new Details();
        Details Details5 = new Details();
        Details Details6 = new Details();


        Details.setNumber(new Integer(1));
        Details2.setEmployeeID(new Double(300));
        Details3.setCurrency("Euro");
        Details4.setSize(new Double (400));
        Details5.setEvent("Something");
        Details6.setId(new Integer(10));


        DetailsArray[0] = Details;
        DetailsArray[1] = Details2;
        DetailsArray[2] = Details3;
        DetailsArray[3] = Details4;
        DetailsArray[4] = Details5;
        DetailsArray[5] = Details6;

        System.out.println(DetailsArray);
        EmployeeDetails.setDetails(DetailsArray);

Answer 1

Use a for loop?

Details[] detailsArray = new Details[10];
for (int i = 0; i < detailsArray.length; i++)
    detailsArray[i] = new Details();

detailsArray[0].setNumber(New Integer(1));

That being said … rarely in real code would you have a static array that you’re populating like this manually. If you did, you might want to have the data for those objects in an external file, or really some other data structure completely.
