class Employee

 try
{
 Details[] obj = new Details[25];
   
 DataInputStream br=new DataInputStream(System.in);
 int count,loopv=1,count1,validator=1;
 System.out.println("Enter employee details ");
 for(count = 1; loopv != 0; ++count)
 {
	  validator = count;
	  
 	obj[count].get();
	System.out.println("input captured");
 	obj[count].calc();	
	   
 	System.out.println("Do you wish to add details for another employee?enter 0 if no..");
	String temp = br.readLine();
	loopv = Integer.parseInt(temp);
 }
  for(count1 = 1; count1 <= validator; ++count1)
 {
 
	 obj[count1].put();
 }
 }
catch(NullPointerException e)
 {
	 System.out.println("Error:" + e);
 }

}
}

Please help me resolve the null pointer exception in this..
Thanks in advance..

Could you re-post your question, since you put it in the Description field, and it got cut off?

[syfran]

Before calling

obj[count].get()

you should initialize all of the objects in the array with

new Details()

Also Instead of

for(count = 1; loopv != 0; ++count)

start your loops with zero

for(count = 0; loopv != 0; ++count)

Hi ..

i have declared tht at the start of try..

the issue is i m getting a null pointer exception..

which is basically on the following line..

obj[count].get();
..

ya thanks i ll start the loop from 0..

You declared an arry of type Details but the array is full of null. Just try throwing in

obj[count] = new Details();

before the

obj[count].get();

Hi there is nuthing much i added there. it is jus that i m getting a null pointer exception on the following line..Do help me ressolve the same

obj[count].get();

..lik i have created a obj for this at the very start of try block..

y m i geeting a null pointer.. is there something wrong in the way i have called the get() using obj

..the basic ques here is.. to get , display/ calculate net pay of employees.. using array of objects..

At the start of the try block you created an array that can hold Details. You still need to put the Details object in there.

Until you do the array will be filled will null and obj[count].get() will be calling null.get() which produces a null pointer exception.

Then solution is to create new Details objects to put in each slot of the array. The ideal location would be just before the obj[count].get

Look at what syfran has told you to do. You never initialized any part of the array.
