How can I Modify set method?

[Ms.Ranjan]

Can someone give me suggestion on how can I modify my setmethod to accept string and store it in array.so that when i call the get method i get the array of student names?

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;

public class voa {
	String[] stud;
	String studname;
	public String[] getStud() {
 	   return stud;
               }
    public void setStud(String studname) {
 	   this.stud = studname;
                        }
public static void main(String args[])
{
   String sname="Sam;Steve;Rob";
    voa test=new voa();
    test.setStud(sname);
   ArrayList<String> data=new ArrayList<String>();
    StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(sname,";");
        while(st.hasMoreTokens())
        {
        data.add(st.nextToken());        
        }
    for(int i=0;i<data.size();i++)
        {
          test.setStud(data.get(i));
        }

   System.out.println(test.getStud());
}
}

you need a voa constructor because you can attempt to manipulate a voa object. inside the construtor just like data.add(this)

I am doing a similar project, please tell me what the difference in her way and mine is? We are taught to do things this way, hers is completely different.

This code will accept user input of names, then put up a msg box saying "hello" + name 1 name 2 etc...

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Main 
{   
    /** Creates a new instance of Main */
    public Main() 
    {
    }
   
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
         String sListNum, sNames[];
         int iListNum, iListCount = 0;
         String sOutput = "Hello";
         String sTempHold;
        
        sListNum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "How many people?");
        iListNum = Integer.parseInt(sListNum);
        
        sNames = new String[iListNum];
        
        mGetNames(sNames, iListCount);
       
        mDisplayNames(sOutput);
    }
    
    static void mGetNames(String [] sNames, int iListCount)
    {
        for ( iListCount = 0; iListCount < sNames.length; iListCount++)
        {
            sNames[iListCount] = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Their name please?");
        }
    }
    static void mDisplayNames(String sOutput)
    {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, sOutput, "Title", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);
        
        System.exit(0);
    }

}

I would like to add code to insert commas after each name if the array contains more than one, haven't worked that out yet lol..I've tried different locations for the following code to do that:

for ( iListCount = 0; iListCount < sNames.length; iListCount++)
        {
            if (sNames.length == 1)
            {
            sOutput = sOutput + " " + sNames[iListCount];
            }
            else if (sNames.length > 1)
            {
                sOutput = sOutput + " " + sNames[iListCount] + ", ";
            }
            }

Problem being I need to recognize the last array entry to prevent a comma showing up there, and it ignores this if it isn't in the mDisplayNames method, or returns a type error on my calling of the mDisplayNames if I put it inside my mDisplayNames method..
thanks for answering the first, and helping with the second

Ms. Ranjan...Following code splits the string and sets in the array.. I hope this is what you are in need of...

public class voa {
String[] studname;
public String[] getStud() {
return studname;
}
public void setStud(String[] studname) {
this.studname = studname;
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
String sname="Sam;Steve;Rob";
voa test=new voa();
test.setStud( (sname.split(";")));
}
}

Hi Rama and xcallme

Thanks a lot,i solved the issue using

public ArrayList<String> stud=new ArrayList<String>();
public String studname;
public void setGene(String studname) {
 	   stud.add(studname); 	  
               }

anyway Rama i will try to use your way..

Thanks

[Ms.Ranjan]

sorry its actually

public void setStud(String studname)
