Thread: java Error: NullPointerException

Good day everyone. Can someone help me with my c program? I got stuck with this error whenever I run this program:
thanks a lot.


Example:

Enter the no of blocks in the disk:--
3

Enter the size of each block:--
3

Enter the number of files:--
3

Enter the file of 1 name:--re

If you can not tell which variable it is, add a println just before line 94 and print out the values of all the variables on that line.

Thanks for your suggestion. I've traced the variable that is null. But how can I put a valid value and what value to assign in it. thanks in advance.
