I have been playing around with reference variables and arrays. When I run my program, the first loop is perfect but the second and following loops of my array skip the first line of code from the constructor.
public class DogPark
{
private Dog[] myDogs = new Dog[3];
public DogPark() {
for (int i = 0; i < myDogs.length; i ++){
myDogs[i] = new Dog();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
DogPark park = new DogPark();
park.use();
}
}
Here's my constructor:
public Dog()
{
name = readString("name");
colour = readString("colour");
age = readAge();
}
private String readString(String type) {
System.out.print("Enter your dog's " + type + ":");
return In.nextLine();
}
private int readAge() {
System.out.print("Enter your dog's age: ");
return In.nextInt();
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "My dog's name is " + name + ", it's colour is " + colour + " and is " + age + " years old.";
}
}
Thanks guys
