passing an array into an instance

[lockmac]

Hi. I am just wandering how do I pass an array from one class into another class via a constructor?

In the class that i collect my information in, I have the following code:

Code:

units[Unit.unitCount] = new Unit(name,code,sem1,sem2,campusCount,campuses);

the name of the array is campuses.

in my Unit class, my Constructor looks like this...

Code:

	public Unit(String iName, String iCode, char iSemester1, char iSemester2, int iCampusCount)
	{
		name=iName;
		code=iCode;
		campuses= new String[10];
		semester1=iSemester1;
		semester2=iSemester2;
		unitCount++;
		campusCount=iCampusCount;

but when i try to do a toString to print off values of the array, every value comes up as null, so I can only assume that they are not being set correctly in the first place.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Code:

new Unit(name, code, sem1, sem2, campusCount, campuses);

Unit(String iName, String iCode, char iSemester1, char iSemester2, int iCampusCount)
{
	name=iName;
	code=iCode;
	campuses= new String[10];
	semester1=iSemester1;
	semester2=iSemester2;
	unitCount++;
	campusCount=iCampusCount;

These are different constructors. The top one has six arguments. The bottom on has five arguments. The top statement will not call the bottom constructor.
In the bottom one, since campuses is instantiated

Code:

campuses= new String[10];

but not initialized by assignment of constructor local variable/arguments

Code:

this.campuses = campuses;

or by initialization of each element

Code:

for(int j = 0; j < campuses.length; j++)
    campuses[j] = "";

I would expect all elements to be null.
