passing an array

[kevin Abel]

I am attempting to call the testDataFeed method in the DataParser class.
When the method is done I want it to pass back the array it has inside:

Object[][] dataArray = DataParser.testDataFeed("C:/Selenium/module9.xlsx");

This is the first line of the testDataFeed method:

public static Object[][] testDataFeed(String path) {

Please explain to everybody what do you mean by that - it doesn't sound clear to me.

it shouldn't be a problem. you can pass almost anything.

I had the Object[][] dataArray line of code inside of the try/catch block. The compiler was complaining.
Sorry about my original question being NOT clear.
I don' t have a question at this time.
Thanks,
Kevin

public class TestClass {
	Object[][] dataArray;  //this needs to show up before the try block.
	
	@Test
	public void testExcel() {
		try {
			dataArray = DataParser.testDataFeed("C:/Selenium/module9.xlsx");
			//DataParser.getCellData("C:/Selenium/module9.xlsx");
		} catch (Exception e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		DataParser.showArrayContents(dataArray);
	}



}

Yes, it does. But it's only used in one method so there's no reason to make it a class-level variable. Just declare it at the start of the testExcel() method.
