Comparing types, integer with null
I am looping through an integer array to check to see if it is empty or not but it won't let me compare the arrays values with the term null.

So what do I do instead?
Thanks
Felissa

Primitive types cannot be null only object references can be compared with null.

If I recall correctly all int variables are set to zero on declaration. So

int a[] = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };

So if 0 is a valid value in your integer array you will probably need to assign it to something else (maybe -1).

Greetings.
Eric
