    Default Multiple Objects out of one.

    I want to create a program and within that program I need to create a costumer object that ever time I go through a loop it creates a new costumer with all new specs. Basically my program right now is a little more advanced but I was just wondering how I would do this.
    My object is Person person = new Person();

    Then the part of my program that is linked to Person is another class named Person, but the rest of my program is in another class so I was just wondering how I would be able to go through and get new values for all the methods in Person each time the loop started over. If you would have any idea please I need help!

    That is a great way to store 1 single person instance. If you want to store more than one person object, you will need one of those for each person, or a variable type that can store multiple Person objects.

    how I would be able to go through and get new values for all the methods in Person each time the loop started over
    The same way you do it for one person. But it will have to be looped so you can do it more than once. A good time to do that I think is as you create each person (in a loop?) initialize each value for that person before going to the next person.

    ie:


    person1 = new person
    person1.name = fred
    person2.age = 40

    person2 = new person
    person2.name = joe
    person2.age = 0

    If you would have any idea please I need help!
    What have you tried? The idea of the assignment is to train your mind to come up with ideas!!
