Thread: object oriented program help!!!

client program
so basically these is it,
it is suppost to first

create an array of type string as the one I did
then create 10 rectangles with random height and width and color ( the color I couldn´t figure it out yet, but I am getting ther noe)

then print the number of rectangles created which basically does but, in a road, which is not good, but nvm I canfix that.

the PROBLEM I truly need help with is I am trying to let the code print all the rectangles and including their areas and perimeters

however I try to do it, but I believe I am doing something wrong because I debugged it and it ends it at the very first try it is testing it, also I am nt sure whether If I am suppost to use the for loop like that, because I am printing the rectangles previwesly created.

also I am required to print the information of the rectangle with the largest area, but I am not sure how to

these is my class and then goes my client program follow by the current output


THANK YOU!!!! honeslty I am really new at these and really appreciate some help.

Search java.lang.NullPointerException for details on what causes an exception of this specific type.

hi

You again creating the object of rectangle and trying to find the area.
Instead in the same for loop while getting the no of rectangles created, get the area and perimeter.
System.out.println(Rectangle.rectangleCreated()+"h as area of " + r.getArea() + "and perimeter of" + r.getPerimeter() );
