    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

    Not too sure why I can't solve this. Ive been sick for weeks, so I'm sure that has something to do with it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Default Re: Null pointer exception in inventory program

    xception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at bookstoreprogrampart5.Inventory.getValueOfInventor y(BookstoreProgramPart5.java:675)
    There is a variable with a null value when line 675 is executed. Look at that line, find the variable with the null value and then backtrack in the code to see why that variable does not have a valid value.
    If you can't see which variable is null, add a println statement just before line 675 that prints out the value of all the variables used on line 675.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
