Array of structures

[Thumper872]

Hello,
I've looked around and cannot seem to find how to create and array of this structure. I can instantiate the class PCB just fine but I can't seem to figure out how to create an array of them. This is a small amount of my code. Can anyone help me?

import java.io*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;

public class ossim{

   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{

      PCB newProcess = new PCB();  /* how do i create an array of these?       */
                                                /* ie.  "PCB newProcess[10] = new PCB(); */

   }

}

class PCB{
   int PID;              /* process id number     */
   String name;       /* name given from input */
   int priority;         /* priority of process   */
   String statusType;
   LinkedList statusList = new LinkedList();
   int[] crTree = new int[10];
   LinkedList otherResources = new LinkedList();
}

Hello,

An array of objects cannot be allocated in one statement. You can allocate an array of object references, but the objects themselves must independently be created.So, you may try:

PCB[] newProcess = new PCB[10]; // create array of references
newProcess[0] = new PCB(); // create element
newProcess[1] = new PCB(); // create element
...

Hope that helps,

Well, ... this is one statement...

PCB[]newProcess = new PCB[]{
  new PCB(), 
  new PCB()
};
