Null pointer exceptio

[grifan526]

So when I run my code I get a null pointer exception, I can't figure out why, I thought I had covered myself on this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated. The error happen in the second printCode method at the if statement.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class data5 {
public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception{
Huffman encode=new Huffman(args[0]);

encode.printCode();




}
}

class node{
private int freq;
private char stuff='\0';
private node leftChild=null;
private node rightChild=null;

public node(int newData){
freq=newData;
}
public node(int newData, char newStuff){
freq=newData;
stuff=newStuff;
}
public void makeLeft(int newData){
node temp=new node(newData);

this.leftChild=temp;

}
public void makeLeft(node temp){
this.leftChild=temp;
}
public void makeRight(node temp){
this.rightChild=temp;
}
public void makeRight(int newData){
node temp=new node(newData);

this.rightChild=temp;

}

public node getLeft(){
return leftChild;
}

public node getRight(){
return rightChild;
}

public int getData(){
return freq;
}

public char getChar(){
return stuff; 
}

}

class tree{
private node root=null;
private treeIterator monkey;

public tree(){

}
public tree(int data){
root=new node(data);

}
public tree(int data, char letter){
root=new node(data, letter);

}

public void addNode(int data){
if(root==null)
root=new node(data);
else{
monkey=new treeIterator(root);
while(monkey.current!=null){
if(data<monkey.current.getData())
monkey.goLeft();
else
monkey.goRight();
}
if(data<monkey.current.getData())
monkey.previous.makeLeft(data);
else
monkey.previous.makeRight(data);
}
}

public node getNode(){
return root; 
}
public int compare(tree test){
int difference;
difference=this.root.getData()-test.getNode().getData();
return difference;
}
}


class Huffman   {
private tree encodedInfo;
private File source;
private Scanner input;
private char[] letters;
private int[] frequency=new int[9];
private PriorityQueue setup;

public Huffman(String fileName)throws Exception {
}

private void getFrequency(){

}

}

private tree makeTree(){
tree temp=null;
int howMany=9;

while(howMany>2){
temp=new tree(setup.getInfo(0).getNode().getData()+setup.getInfo(1).getNode().getData());
temp.getNode().makeLeft(setup.getInfo(0).getNode());
temp.getNode().makeLeft(setup.getInfo(1).getNode());
setup.setValue(0,temp);
setup.setValue(1,setup.getInfo(howMany-1));
setup.setValue(howMany-1,null);
howMany--;
setup.organize();
}

return temp;
}
public void printCode(){ //start recursive search
if(encodedInfo.getNode().getLeft()!=null)
printCode("0",encodedInfo.getNode().getLeft());
if(encodedInfo.getNode().getRight()!=null)
printCode("1",encodedInfo.getNode().getRight());
}
private void printCode(String s,node n){
if(n.getChar()!='\0') //check if reached character
System.out.println(n.getChar()+"   "+s);
else{ //continue down tree
if(n.getLeft()!=null)
printCode(s+"0",n.getLeft()); 
if(n.getLeft()!=null)
printCode(s+"1",n.getRight()); 
}

}

}

class PriorityQueue {
private tree[] setup=new tree[9];
private int howMany=9;

public PriorityQueue(int[] freqs){

}

public void organize(){


}
private void swap(int i, int j){

}

public tree getInfo(int i){
return setup[i];
}

public void setValue(int i, tree temp){
setup[i]=temp;
}

}

There is obviously more code I just took out stuff that was in no way related to my problem, but if you think you need some missing code to help me I can gladly post it.
