initialising Array of object??

I've a class T which have two integer variables.
In another class I want to make an array of Term object.

class Term{
public int exp=0, coef=0;
}

class Polynomial{
Term array[];
int i,l;
Polynomial(int i){
this.i=i;
array = new Term[i];
}
void SetTerm(int e, int c){
for(l=0; l<i;l++){
array[l].exp=e;
array[l].coef=c;
}
}
/*...
...
*/
}

now from the main method when I'm calling the
SetTerm after creating object of Polynomial class...in the output
a exception is risen: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
at Polynomial.SetTerm

So how can i fix the problem of initialize that array??
please help.........

the variable i is not what you expect it to be. For one thing, the "i" you use to initialize the Term array is only visible within the Polynomial constructor. For a safer way to use threads, do this:

Code:

---

for (int l = 0; l < array.length; l++) // *** note difference?
{
  array[l].exp=e;
  array[l].coef=c;
}

---

Can you tell me what are you going to do here.

Code:

---

array[l].exp=e;

---

array is a poor choice for a variable name. You should use something that says what it contains.
For example: Term[] polyTerms = new Term[x];

Then polyTerms[i].exp = ... would be more readable

thanx a lot.......
Actually I'm a newbie as I told you before.....I'm trying learn this language by heart.......from now I'll give the appropriate name of those variable (Actual name are very big; tough to right again & again but I'll!!).
