copied!<p>I need to create new warrior, assign name, and get his description with function specified in GameCahracter class. When I am trying to run - it stops on <code>weapon.type ; // <<Exception</code> showing that <code>weapon=null</code>. Why? As far as I know warrior constructor assigned to variable <code>weapon</code> a link to new Weapon.Sword. Then using variable weapon I should be able to access it's field <code>type</code>. What is wrong here?</p> <hr> <pre><code>abstract class GameCahracter{ public String name; public String type; public Weapon weapon; public int hitPoints; public String getDescription(){ return name + "; " + type + "; " + hitPoints + " hp; " + weapon.type ; // << Exception } public static class Warrior extends Player{ public Warrior() { type = "Warrior"; hitPoints = 100; Weapon.Sword weapon = new Weapon.Sword(); } } </code></pre> <hr> <pre><code>abstract class Player extends GameCahracter { } </code></pre> <hr> <pre><code> abstract class Weapon { public int damage; public String type = "default"; public int getDamage(){ return this.damage; } public static class Sword extends Weapon{ public Sword() { String type = "Sword"; int damage = 10; } } } </code></pre> <hr> <pre><code>GameCahracter.Warrior wr = new GameCahracter.Warrior(); wr.setName("Joe"); System.out.println( wr.getDescription()); </code></pre> <hr> <p>EDIT1</p> <p>For some reason I'm having <code>default</code> string when printing out <code>weapon.type</code>. Why? How can I get <code>type</code>to be <code>Sword</code>?</p>
