Nullpointer exception

[Games2Design]

Ok, my task is to make a Bedsit program as assignment with three floors and in each floor there is 6 bedsits.
Now before program runs your asked to read data from a file (called hybeldata.txt):

10;2012;0;0;6000;7000;
1;A;6000;Ole Johan
1;B;12000;Erik Smith
1;C;0;TOM HYBEL
1;D;9000;Alan Turen
1;E;33000;Tim Verner
1;F;4999;Anders Tanen
2;A;9000;Torvald Linus
2;B;5001;Rikard Stall
2;C;10000;Bill Weitz
2;D;15000;Steve Job
2;E;123;Steve Woz
2;F;2400;Denis Rich
3;A;88000;James Goblin
3;B;456000;Mark Sukker
3;C;6000;Karl Bagasje
3;D;0;TOM HYBEL
3;E;250;Ada Love
3;F;55000;Don Knut

Now i know bedsit 1C is empty (tom hybel = empty bedsit). I encountered a problem when i tried to check for any bedsits that have no tenant with a two for loops with a if test in it(in method newTenant()). I got nullpointer exception.

So i thought to narrow the problem down by removing the for loops and if test, and try to simply write out bedsit 1C's name out to check if reading data from the file and then onto Bedsit attributes (hybeldata.txt) has been successful.

As you can see in "testPrint()" i tried that. But i still receive nullpointer exception.
Now to my knowledge the code looks right. So i don't get why i receive that.

willinglyimport java.util.Scanner;

    FloorO[]floorArrayObject=new FloorO[3];



    void mainMetod(){

Which line is 116? is it this one?

    void testPrint(){
    System.out.println(floorArrayObject[0].bedsitArrayObject[2].stud.studentName);  // here?
    }

if so, change it to:

void testPrint(){
    System.out.println("(floorArrayObject == null): " + (floorArrayObject == null));  
    System.out.println("(floorArrayObject[0] ==  null): " + (floorArrayObject[0] ==  null));  
    System.out.println("(floorArrayObject[0].bedsitArrayObject ==  null): " + (floorArrayObject[0].bedsitArrayObject ==  null));  
    System.out.println("(floorArrayObject[0].bedsitArrayObject[2] ==  null): " + (floorArrayObject[0].bedsitArrayObject[2] ==  null));  
    System.out.println("(floorArrayObject[0].bedsitArrayObject[2].stud ==  null): " + (floorArrayObject[0].bedsitArrayObject[2].stud ==  null));  
    System.out.println("(floorArrayObject[0].bedsitArrayObject[2].stud.studentName ==  null): " + 
         (floorArrayObject[0].bedsitArrayObject[2].stud.studentName ==  null));  
    System.out.println(floorArrayObject[0].bedsitArrayObject[2].stud.studentName);  
}

and let me know which line is null

Here is the error message after running your code:


I will try to see if i can interpret your code (as i get your general idea with it).

EDIT: I believe floorArrayObject[0] and the rest are NULL instead of containing a object of Bedsit class.

EDIT2:
After interpretating your test, i realized i had not made objects of FloorO class. But i then included that in the code, but then receive a error:

[Fubarable]

The error seems to be telling you exactly what's wrong. Does Floor0 have a default constructor (a constructor with no parameters)? If not, then use the constructors that it already has, or give it a default constructor -- but only if it's appropriate to do so.

[Games2Design]

FloorO has a constructor that i use to set it's floor variable to the in-parameter (which is sent when a FloorO object is created).
I also used the constructor to create Bedsit objects.

Sigh why is it not working :S It's telling me that floorArrayObject[0] isn't pointing at an object of FloorO, even though it is:

Here is the class for FloorO:

class FloorO{
    final int rentLow=6000;
    final int rentTop=7000;
    int floor;

    Bedsit[]bedsitArrayObject=new Bedsit[6];

    FloorO(int floorOnFile){
	floor=floorOnFile;

	for(int i=0;i<bedsitArrayObject.length;i++){
	    bedsitArrayObject[i]=new Bedsit();
	}
    }
}

And the code for when it should create a object of FloorO:

		    floorArrayObject[floorOnFil-1]=new FloorO(floorOnFil);

floorOnFil is 1 in beginning.
