I am new to Java and for the time created an array of objects in Java.
I have a class A for example -
A[] arr = new A[4];
But this is only creating pointers (references) to A and not 4 objects. Is this correct? I see that when I try to access functions/variables in the objects created I get a null pointer exception. To be able to manipulate/access the objects I had to do this --
A[] arr = new A[4];
for( int i=0; i<4; i++ )
arr[i] = new A();
Is this correct or am I doing something wrong? If this is correct its really odd.
