Sending an array in a constructor?
My problem is this:I was supposed to read two text files and store them as State array objects: easy. Then I am supposed to do other things like display it and so on. Problem is, as my code sits now, the method seqSearch() only accesses one array either arrState or arrSearch, not both like I need it to. I need to compare the arrays from the ArrayObjects class search and a and if they match at any time to say so. I need a way to have both arrays called and searched in respect from one another but I need to do it from main with no other static methods than main. Hope that made sense. Here is my code:
Any help is appreciated.
<code>

public static void main(String[] args)

abbrev = line.substring(30, 32);
