New To Java - Newbie - Can't get method to trigger...
Hi there, I cannot figure out how to get the method Person in the Class Person here to run..... someone has told me that its because the array is dynamic and needs to be static but im not so sure.. Could someone please explain where I've gone wrong... It would be really appreciated...
public class HandlePersonalData {
/*
hello and welcome back to your assignment.
finish generating random name by joining strings at the end of the forloop then check its all working
by running a printstatement of datavalues in array from main method
After that proceed to write this **** to a file. bling bling ***** u just passed
NEED TO USE A VECTOR SO THAT THE USER CAN DECIDE THE LENGTH OF THE ARRAY OTHERWISE IT WONT WORK
Vector <Person> newPersonArray = new Vector <Person> ();
