Question about Keyboard input

public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner keyIn = new Scanner(System.in);
double player1[], player2[], player3[], player4[], player5[], player6[], player7[], player8[], player9[], player10[] = new double [3];

System.out.print("Player 1: Enter 3 values --> ");
player1[0] = keyIn.nextDouble();
player1[1] = keyIn.nextDouble();
player1[2] = keyIn.nextDouble();
......
}

Hi guys,
new to Java, just doing a problem with keyboard input,
can someone explain why there's an error saying that player1 may not be initialized?

Thx!

it seems to me that u need to need to put into every string a "null".

I believe (correct me if I'm wrong ppl :| ) that it is because string isn't a primitive character. with int for example it should have worked fine.

try and write :

double player1[]=null, player2[]=null, player3[]=null, player4[]=null, player5[]=null, player6[]=null, player7[]=null, player8[]=null, player9[]=null, player10[]=null = new double [3];

This declaration only initializes the player10[] array while all the others will still be null. Your compiler doesn't like variables that aren't initialized.

kind regards,
