Hai!
Im totaly lost when it comes to returning an array..

So heres my script, Idk why I thinks my method is a statement but it does..
So can you help me?

Script:

 import static java.lang.System.out;
 import java.util.Scanner;
public class Speecher {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    	
    	// TODO, add your application code
    	out.println("Wellcome to speecher!");
    	Scanner text = new Scanner(System.in);
    	String chat = "";
    	chat = text.nextLine();
    	String words[] = getWords(chat);
    	for (x = 0;x<words.length;x++){
    		out.print(words[x]);
    	}
    }
    private static String getWords[](String chat){
    	//ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    	String list = chat.split(" ");
    	return list;
    }
}

try this instead:

 
private static String[] getWords(String chat){
   //ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
   String[] list = chat.split(" ");
   return list;
}

It was useful ... I was also facing the same problem with one of my program

Java doc contains all the information related to this lol. If you read it carefully, this is not a big deal. As a habit try to work around with Java doc as well, you can learn a lot. Good luck :)

unlike in c/c++, a string is not simple an array of characters. and an arraylist is not an array. also, you never declare your 'x' variable, unless you didn't post your complete code

[Eranga]

yes, we cannot see any declaration for 'x' at all. Seems it's the complete code.
