    Default Problem with NULL.Exception [...]

    Hello,

    I have got a problem with my code.

    Here are the classes:

    Main.java
    package kompozycja;
     
    public class Main {
    	    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    	    	Point p1 = new Point(0,0);
    	    	Point p2 = new Point(5,3), p3 = new Point(8,10);
     
    	    	Line l1 = new Line(p1, p2), l2 = new Line(p2, p3);
    	    	Line l3 = new Line(p3, p1), l4 = new Line(p1, p2);
     
    	    	System.out.println(p1.toString());
    	    	System.out.println(p2.toString());
    	    	System.out.println(p3.toString());
     
    	    	System.out.println(l1.toString());

    	    	System.out.println(l4.toString());
     
    	    	p2.move(5, 6);
     
    	    	System.out.println(p2.toString());
    	    	l1.move(1,2);
    	    	System.out.println(l1.toString());
     
    	    	//Triangle t1 = new Triangle(l1, l2, l3);
    	    	//System.out.println(t1.toString());
    	    	//t1.move(3, 4);
    	    	//System.out.println(t1.toString());
     
    	    	Quadrangle c1 = new Quadrangle(l1, l2, l3, l4);

    The compilator says:
    (0,0)
    (5,3)
    (8,10)
    (0,0)->(5,3)
    (5,3)->(8,10)
    (8,10)->(0,0)
    (0,0)->(5,3)
    (10,9)
    (1,2)->(6,5)
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    	at kompozycja.Line.move(Line.java:24)
    	at kompozycja.Quadrangle.move(Quadrangle.java:28)
    	at kompozycja.Main.main(Main.java:32)

    How can I fix it?

    Thanks for all your answers.

    This is a Null Pointer Exception or NPE. Something in the Line.move() method is null. I can't be sure, but I suspect line 24 of the Line class includes the move() method,
        public void move(int dx, int dy)
        {
            start.move(dx, dy);
            end.move(dx, dy);
        }
    It seems that either start or end must be null. Add print statements or do a code inspection to determine why start and/or end may not have been initialized.

    Thank you! Thanks for your advice, I fixed it.
    The problem occured in a Line copy Constructor:

    Fixed code:
     	public Line(Line line){
    	start = new Point(line.getStart());
    	end = new Point(line.getEnd());
    	}
