help with and array of objects

[hoosierfan24]

ok so i have and array of objects called coordinates and its size is 1000 and i want to input two random numbers into each slot. How would i set up a loop to do this?

What do you mean by "into each slot". Your question is missing a lot of details that would help others help you. Please read the link in my signature below on how to ask smart questions.

Much luck.

ok sorry about that
here is a better example of the problem

Point [] coordinates = new Point[1000];
		coordinates[0] = new Point (Math.random() * 50 , Math.random() * 50);
		coordinates[1] = new Point (Math.random() * 50 , Math.random() * 50);

i want to put Math.random() * 50 for the paramaters of each object in the array, is there just another way to do it without creating a 1000 different objects individually

You can loop through the array using a for loop:

for(int i = 0; i < coordinates.length; i++) { // loop through each element (not "slot" as you call it)
  coordinates[i] = something; // do your assignment here
}

You will likely use a for loop to loop through the array inserting Points into each item of the array, but this will necessarily create 1000 Point objects. I don't really see any way around that. Are you concerned with the amount of memory that this will take -- if so, I wouldn't worry. Are you confused on how to set up this for loop? Again, your question needs more detail.

ok thanks i was able to do it that way
