incompatible types?

[slider57]

My array that was initialized to hold a Persons class will not hold the class.
I am seriously confused why this is happening.

these are the lines of code that hate me:
array[0] = p.setPerson(null, new Person(), st1);
array[i] = p.setPerson(array[i - 1], new Person(), st1);
They are on line 12 and 20.

  public void run()
   {
      // parse the data into Person objects and display it
      Person p = new Person();
      StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(mData, DEFAULT_RECORD_SEPARATOR);
      StringTokenizer st1 = new StringTokenizer(st.nextToken(),
                                                DEFAULT_FIELD_SEPARATOR);
      Person[] array;
      array = new Person[10];
      int startVerse = DEFAULT_STARTVERSE;
      
      array[0] = p.setPerson(null, new Person(), st1);   
      out.println(cFormat.format(p.toArray(startVerse)));
  
      for(int i = 1; st.hasMoreTokens(); i++)
      {
         p = new Person();
         startVerse = startVerse + 3;
         st1 = new StringTokenizer(st.nextToken(), DEFAULT_FIELD_SEPARATOR);
         array[i] = p.setPerson(array[i - 1], new Person(), st1);
         //out.println(cFormat.format(p.toArray(startVerse)));
      }
      
   }

Where are your error messages as it is quite hard for us to guess what is wrong without this very important information?

I will guess though. You aren't assigning a Person object to the array item but rather whatever is returned by the setPerson(...) method. What does this method return by the way?

I really appreciate you writing back. I solved the issue as soon as I hit submit. I used a setter which doesnt return anything so thats why it hated me but ill remember to put up the error code next time

In most situations setter methods shouldn't return anything.
