Question

Im a beginner to Java and I’m trying to create an array of a custom class.
Let say I have a class called car and I want to create an array of cars called Garage. How can I add each car to the garage? This is what I’ve got:

car redCar = new Car("Red");
car Garage [] = new Car [100];
Garage[0] = redCar;

Answer 1

If you want to use an array, you have to keep a counter which contains the number of cars in the garage. Better use an ArrayList instead of array:

List<Car> garage = new ArrayList<Car>();
garage.add(redCar);
