Thread: Figuring Out Object Arrays

So I'm trying to figure out how to create Arrays out of Objects but I'm having a problem adding an Object to an Array.

Here's what I have:

 
public class Main {
 
       double[] values = new double[10];
 
    double[] morevalues = {2,3,4,5};
 
    double morevaluesone= morevalues[1];
 
    Coin Bank[] = new Coin[3];
 
 
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
Coin quarter = new Coin("Quarter", .25);
 
Bank[0]=quarter;

I get the error at Bank[0]=quarter;

(non-static variable Bank cannot be referenced from a static context)

What am I doing wrong?

Here is my coin class:

public class Coin {
    String name;
    double value;
    public Coin (String aname, double avalue)
    {
        name=aname;
        value=avalue;
    }
 
 
 
}

}

The non static variable “Bank” is trying to use in static method (main). To resolve the error you would require to modify “Bank” as static.
