    Default Re: How can i fix my null pointer exception error?

    his is my error - "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at dakilangtaoako.DakilangTaoAko.alphabetSorter(Dakil angTaoAko.java:195)
    Look at line 195 and find the variable with the null value. Then backtrack in the code to find why that variable does not have a valid value.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
