Calling a method for all instances of an object

[rattle]

Hi

import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;

public class BankManagement{
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		//vars, objects
		
		// construct instances of BankAccount and pass initial account information
										//  account-no   First   Last   Type   balance   credit
		BankAccount acc01 = new BankAccount(3856296735L,"Jenny","Popdeck","savings",4820.88,-50);
		BankAccount acc02 = new BankAccount(3478957793L,"Alex","Fryhall","credit",11899,-10000);
		BankAccount acc03 = new BankAccount(3709409798L,"Joey","Boilcraft","check",333.60,0);


	}
}

given the above and my BankAccount class has a method getDetails() which prints a formatted list of vars for the account object.

Please suggest a way of running the method for all instances of the BankAccount object which would essentially be

acc01.getDetails();acc02.getDetails();acc03.getDetails();

but automatic


thanks in advance for your considerate help D

use a for loop

for(int i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++)
{
myArray[i].getDetails;
}

the bit i don't get is how to get all the instance names into an array in one statement.

[rattle]

and even when i wack the instance names into an array manually, it spits out"

import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;

public class BankManagement{
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		//vars, objects
		String temp="";
		// construct instances of BankAccount and pass initial account information
										//  account-no   First   Last   Type   balance   credit
		BankAccount acc01 = new BankAccount(3856296735L,"Jenny","Popdeck","savings",4820.88,-50);
		BankAccount acc02 = new BankAccount(3478957793L,"Alex","Fryhall","credit",11899,-10000);
		BankAccount acc03 = new BankAccount(3709409798L,"Joey","Boilcraft","check",333.60,0);

		String[] accArray={"acc01", "acc02", "acc03"};

		for(int i = 0; i < accArray.length; i++){
			accArray[i].getAccountDetails();
		}
	}
}

Try this:

BankAccount [] accArray={acc01, acc02, acc03};
