PLZ Help me

Please do not hijack someone else's post.

You created an array...

Control robot[]=new Control [k];

...but have not instantiated the elements of the array.

robot[index] = new Control();

[salih]

even with that it's not working.

[copeg]

What's not working...please post any error messages in their entirety and any updated code you may have.

[salih]

after i enter the count of robot EX: 2
it ask me for coordinates: EX: 6 -for X- and 5 -for Y-.
it display this message

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at hw.Main.main(Main.java:20)

waiting for help :'(

Do not continue to bump threads like this - despite what you think it could hurt your chances of receiving help. We aren't a 24hr service waiting at the edge or our seat for the next problem to come along, just a bunch of volunteers. Further, you did not follow my advice and post your updated code. That error message tell you exactly where the exception is being thrown - line 20. Go to your code and look at line 20. Add some System.out.println statements to see what is null, and work backwards to try and figure out if you ever instantiate the object.
