As you can see, Circle DOESNOT extend to shape, and isnot suppose too!









18 years ago
no, circle extends twodimensionshape, which extends to shape under the program

I found I think my problem but not sure how to fix it, I was naming as shapes and not what was asked in the bold, could someone give me an example or where to go and look, the book I have is not a good teacher,

Thank you in advance.

CREATE the instance variable shapes, an array of Shape objects, with myFile.getCountOfRecords() elements

which I try'd: Shape[] shape = shapes;
but I get the error:


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: Circle
at ShapeTest.loadShapesArray(ShapeTest.java:121)
at ShapeTest.main(ShapeTest.java:24)

so, probally this is the cause then?

//CREATE the instance variable shapes, an array of Shape objects,
//with myFile.getCountOfRecords() elements

Shape[] shape = shapes;

This is what I'm getting and don't understand why.

Can anyone explain why I would? Thank you in advance.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at ShapeTest.loadShapesArray(ShapeTest.java:115)
at ShapeTest.main(ShapeTest.java:20)

line 20 and 115 are in the bold

The stuff in bold within the code is my area of question.
I try'd the following below the code, but that isn't it, where Am I going a stray?

Still trying to figure out line 55 and 104, but the other 2 have me just as lost, or are these reference of those 2 lines?

Ok the help with Brunborg, I was able to get this far.
But I can't seem to figure out how to resolve it?
at the bottom is the Psuedo code for these 2 parts.

Thank you both, I see what happens when you right a porgram or should I say 3 programs in 1 with over 40,000 bytes, about to make big mistakes, again thank you you so much.

Now I go and get re-educated in spelling lol.
