Why are you calling myCamera.length? Wouldnt you want to call

 myCamera.getProductName()

for the first print line at line 86

[acetown]

When I use it in eclipse it brings it up as an error wity myCamera.getProductName()

[bank217]

I think you will want to implement a for loop to print your myCamera data

	for(int i = 0; i < myCamera.length; i ++)
	{
		  System.out.printf("Product Name is" + myCamera[i].length);
          System.out.printf("Item Number is" + myCamera[i].length );
          System.out.printf("Number of Units is" + myCamera[i].length );
          System.out.printf("Unit Price is" + myCamera[i].length);
	}

Sorry those werent supposed to be myCamera.length, rathermyCamera.getProduct() and so on...

[acetown]

ok i am new to this java stuff so any help is appreciated

im getting off of here for tonite been on about 6 hrs working on my program

[bank217]

Also, you declare Camera[] Camera = null, that is why you are getting a null pointer exception because you never give it any data.

i just started using eclipse and it gave me tht suggestion

[bank217]

Acetown you still here?

[pbl]

Use that syntax, a lot less confusing

              Camera array[]  = {
                  new Camera("Nikon", 0001, 5, 1499),
                  new Camera("Olympus", 0002, 7, 799),
                  new Camera("Canon", 0003, 3, 1549),
                  new Camera("Casio", 0004, 10, 89),
                  new Camera("Kodak", 0005, 3, 299)
              };
 

And note that you never use "array" you only use the variable "camera" which you initialized to null

This is the error I get now.

This is how I would have written your code...

public class Camera
{

	private String ProductName;
	private int ItemNumber;
	private int NumberofUnits;
	private double UnitPrice;

	public Camera(String Name, int Number, int Units, double Price)
	{

		ProductName = Name;
		ItemNumber = Number;
		NumberofUnits = Units;
		UnitPrice = Price;
	}

	public void setProductName(String title, String Name)
	{
		ProductName = Name;
	}

	public String getProductName()
	{
		return ProductName;
	}

	public void setItemNumber(int Number)
	{
		ItemNumber = Number;
	}

	public double getItemNumber()
	{
		return ItemNumber;
	}

	public void setNumberofUnits(int Units)
	{
		NumberofUnits = Units;
	}

	public double getNumberofUnits()
	{
		return NumberofUnits;
	}

	public void setUnitPrice(double Price)
	{
		UnitPrice = Price;
	}

	public double getUnitPrice()
	{
		return UnitPrice;
	}

	public double value()
	{
		return UnitPrice * NumberofUnits;
	}
}

[bank217]

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Inventory
{

	private static Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		Camera[] camera = new Camera[5];

		camera[0] = new Camera("Nikon", 0001, 5, 1499);

			System.out.println("Product Name is " + camera[i].getProductName());
			System.out.println("Item Number is " + camera[i].getItemNumber());

Im not sure why you have

 Camera array[]  = 

it should be

Camera[] myCamera =

[acetown]

Thank you very much. Java is a little challenging when this is your first time doing it.

Create a method to calculate the value of the entire inventory.
Create another method to sort the array items by the name of the product.

This is what I need next. Any ideas on how to do this.

[bank217]

You will need to set up a normal method header. Inside the method header you will want to use a for loop similar to what I showed you above that will call the method getNumberOfUnits().
