Thread: Issue with setting up different class with arrays

ok.. I have work a few of the errors down. I still need assistance with this class. I am receiving error with the array.

public class Violin {
 
	String[] ViolinStrings = new String[4]; 
 
	ViolinStrings[0] = "E";
	ViolinStrings[1] = "A";
	ViolinStrings[2] = "D";
	ViolinStrings[3] = "G";
 
	boolean ViolinTuned = false;
	boolean ViolinPlaying = false;
	boolean ViolinMusician = false;
	boolean ViolinStopPlaying = false;
 
	public Violin() {
 
	}
 
	public void VTuned() {
	ViolinTuned = true;
	System.out.println("The violin is now tuned.");
	}
 
	public void VPlaying() {
	ViolinPlaying = true;
	System.out.println("The violin is now playing.");
	}
 
	public void VMusician() {
	ViolinMusician = true;
	System.out.println("The violin musician is ready to play.");
	}
 
 
	public void VStopPlaying() {
	ViolinStopPlaying = true;
	System.out.println("The violin has stopped playing.");
 
	}
 
 
}

What are you trying to achieve?

You need to place the initialisation in the constructor.

A couple of pointers, think about the type you are using. Since you are storing a single character for each string maybe char would be better. Also method and variable names in java begin with a lowercase. While this isn't an issue when you are doing a program for yourself it is good practice to get into early. Also if you were to be developing and API this would be what people expect.
