Exercise Instructions

So for this exercise, we wil be looking at Arrays in java and using what we've learned so far to implement a solution to the below problem. Arrays in java are just like lists. You can make arrays of any type of object, primative or non primative. The syntax for a arrays is a little differen then the last variable types that we worked with.

You are to clone down this repo, and create a new branch for your work. Once you are done with the exercises, push your answers to github and create a merge request into the master branch.

See below where an example of how to initialize the array, set a value of one of the indexes, and retrieve a value from the array.

    String notAList = "Sample String";
    // How to initial and set the size of an array.
    String[] listOfStrings = new String[10];
    // Adding a value to an array
    // Array indexs start at 0 in java
    listOfStrings[0] = "This value is in the first position of the array of strings";
    System.out.println(listOfString[0]);
    // Outputs: This value is in the first position of the array of strings
    System.out.println(listOfString[1]);
    // Exception of Nullpointer as we have accessed an index in the array that doesn't have a value.
