Thread: How do you write an advanced mutator method for arrays?

0


I'm relatively new to programming, so this is very confusing to me. In this program, I declared and instantiated an array of 5 card EMPTY SLOTS (from a program called Card.java in which all the cards are complete). This is my constructor method:

public BasicPlayer()
{
myHand = new Card[5];
}


Then I'm supposed to declare an advanced mutator and accessor method for arrays (the getter and setter I assume), which is where I am stuck. For the accessor method, I am supposed to get a card from the players hand:

public Card getCard()
{
card tempCard = myHand [numberDealt];
numberDealt ++;
return tempCard;
}

but then for the mutator method, I am supposed to set a SINGULAR CARD into the player's hand (I will create a loop in a different class setting more cards into the hand, but for now, I just need one). This is where I am stuck. What am I supposed to do?
