Question

I did an assignment that has the following code in it

int status;
Object[] Data = new Object[3];
message.readArray(Data, 0, 3) //this is a call to an external library that reads some values (all integers) into 'Data'. 0 is the start and 3 is the count
status = (int) Data[2];

From searching, I found that the last line should be something like

status= ((Integer)Data[2]).intValue();

Now the problem is that the initial code compiled and run without issues using ANT, but my evaluator gets the error:

java:146: inconvertible types
[javac] found   : java.lang.Object
[javac] required: int
[javac]             status = (int) Data[2];
[javac]                            ^

I’m not sure what version of ANT and/or JAVA he is using, but mine is ANT 1.7.1 and JAVAC 1.7.0. Does anyone know why this seems to be a problem on their end and why it compiles on mine?

Answer 1

This would be the java version not the ANT version. Make sure he is using the same version of JAVAC as you.
