POCopying Array, Allow it to remain the same when input to constructor changes
text
Body
copied!<p>My point class is immutable. When I am given input into the constructor originally, it should be copied into the cloneList object. This would allow for it to remain the way it was before if a couple of indexes in the array are changed via the constructor. I have tried almost every possible combination and am still running into the trouble. I want the cloneList to be a copy of the original Point[] points array, thus if the points array is changed then the cloneList will not. </p> <pre><code>import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.List; public class Polygon { private double xSum = 0; private double ySum = 0; private Point[] points; private Point[] cloneList; private Point a; public Polygon(Point[] points) { this.points = points; cloneList = new Point[points.length]; for (int i = 0; i < cloneList.length; i++) { cloneList[i] = points[i]; } for (int i = 0; i < cloneList.length; i++) System.out.println(cloneList[i]); for (int i = 0; i < points.length; i++){ cloneList[i] = points[i]; // System.out.print(cloneList[i].getX()); // System.out.print(cloneList[i].getY()); // System.out.println(); } public Point getVertexAverage() { double xSum = 0; double ySum = 0; for (int index = 0; index < cloneList.length; index++) { xSum = xSum + cloneList[index].getX(); ySum = ySum + cloneList[index].getY(); } return new Point(xSum / getNumSides(), ySum / getNumSides()); } public int getNumberSides() { return cloneList.length; } </code></pre> <p>}</p>
