Function call returning array of objects

[ShitalJain]

Hi all,
I want to know how to call a function having same return type as that of class which returns array of objects. Problem i'm facing is how to call the function and catch the array.
Here is the code i'm trying to execute:
public class A{

private int x;
private int y;

public A(int j, int k)
{
x=j;
y=k;
}
public A create()
{
A[] obj= new A[5];
for(int n=0;n<5;n++)
{
obj[n]=new A(n,n+1);
}
return obj;
}

public static void main(String args[])
{
A[] ob = new A[5];
ob= create();
System.out.println(ob[0].x+" "+ob[0].y);
}
}


Regards,
ShitalJain.

Not sure what "A" is but

Change

public A create()

TO

public A[] create()

And Java has methods, not functions.

[Junky]

A[] ob = new A[5];
ob= create();

Why waste resources creating an array on line 1 when you immediately throw it away on line 2? Also since create is an uinstance method you cannot access it from main without an instance of the A class. Therefore your code should be:

A a = new A();
A[] ob = a.create();
// or
A[] ob = new A().create();
