Thread: instantiating class objects from an array

I need to instantiate a new class object from an array that I have created from user input in a JFrame. I can save the data to an array of objects but I can't create the class object with my new array. I need to create 7 class objects and perform sorts based on name, gpa, grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3. I can do the sorting no problem when I create an array like this:

Student studentsArray[] = {new Student("Andrey", "Hrismok", 4.0, 'A', 'A', 'A'),
            new Student("Jonathan", "Stormer", 3.76, 'B', 'A', 'A'),
            new Student("Monica", "Fitshweb", 4, 'A', 'A', 'A'),
            new Student("Wenemal", "Stormer", 2.81, 'C', 'B', 'A'),
            new Student("Kissadil", "Levy", 3.76, 'A', 'A', 'B'),
            new Student("Cartans", "Buweno", 3.0, 'C', 'B', 'A'),
            new Student("Craig", "Wibrele", 3.97, 'A', 'A', 'A')};

but when I try to create an array for each student and then create a Student object from the array suddenly netbeans thinks I am making a call to a method and not a constructor in the student class.

Code:

 public void getStudentData(){
        studentRecord[0] = jtfFirstName.getText();
        studentRecord[1] = jtfLastName.getText();
        studentRecord[2] = calcGPA();
        studentRecord[3] = jtfGrade1.getText();
        studentRecord[4] = jtfGrade2.getText();
        studentRecord[5] = jtfGrade3.getText();
 
        for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++){
        System.out.print(studentRecord[i] + " ");
        }
        Student tempStudent = new Student (studentRecord[0], studentRecord[1],
                studentRecord[2], studentRecord[3], studentRecord[4],
                studentRecord[5]);

Here is all of my pertinent code for reference:

Student.java

class Student extends Person {
 
    // Defining the instance variables. They all have the default modifier.
    private Name name;
    private String university, school, study;
    private double gpa;
    private char grade1, grade2, grade3;
 
    // Default constructor.
    private Student() {
    }
 
    //Constructor for Project 4
    public Student(String firstName, String lastName, double gpa, char grade1,
            char grade2, char grade3) {
        name = new Name(firstName, lastName);
        this.gpa = gpa;
        this.grade1 = grade1;
        this.grade2 = grade2;
        this.grade3 = grade3;
 
    }
 
    public double getGpa() {
        return gpa;
    }
 
    public char getGrade1() {
        return grade1;
    }
 
    public char getGrade2() {
        return grade2;
    }
 
    public char getGrade3() {
        return grade3;
    }
...

Name.java

package P4;
 
public class Name implements Comparable<Name> {
 
    private String firstName, lastName;
 
    public Name(String firstName, String lastName) {
        if (firstName == null || lastName == null) {
            throw new NullPointerException();
        }
        this.firstName = firstName;
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }
 
    public String toString() {
        return lastName + ", " + firstName;
    }
 
    public int compareTo(Name name) {
        int comp = lastName.compareTo(name.lastName);
        return (comp != 0 ? comp : firstName.compareTo(name.firstName));
    }
}

        return gpa;
 
 
 
    }
}

My sort classes are in a different package, except "Name" because I am trying to build off a working example that doesn't use a GUI to import data from the user. Anyway, I know my code is a mess at this point. Thanks for any help!
