    <p>This is homework. I'm trying to work with arrays and this is the first project working with them. My book shows all kinds of examples but the way they code the examples doesn't do any justice to what the assignment calls for.</p> <p>I am trying to write a program that asks a user to enter students into the system. The program first asks how many you will enter then it will prompt you for the first name, last name, and score.</p> <p>What I am trying to accomplish with this section of code is to ask the user how many students they will enter. The line of code that says </p> <pre><code> getStudentCount(); </code></pre> <p>is a method that collects that information and then returns studentCount</p> <p>I tried to code this to where the length of the array is going to be the number the user enters but it's not working so I wanted to ask for guidance. Ideally if this works and the user enters 3 then you will be prompted to enter the information 3 times. If the user enters 0 then the program doesn't ask you anything.</p> <pre><code> public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Welcome to the Student Scores Application."); int studentCount = 1; getStudentCount(); studentCount = sc.nextInt(); String [] students = new String[studentCount]; for (int i = 0; i &lt; students.length; i++) { Student s = new Student(); String firstName = getString("Enter first name: "); s.setFirstName(firstName); String lastName = getString("Enter last name: "); s.setLastName(lastName); int score = getScore("Enter score: "); s.setScore(score); } } </code></pre> <p>Everything I had in the program worked up until I tried to code</p> <pre><code> String [] students = new String[studentCount]; for (int i = 0; i &lt; students.length; i++) </code></pre> <p>which tells me there is something wrong with the way I am doing this.</p> <p>Also the assignment asks that I store the information in the array. I'm not clear on how to call it or I guess store it.... I have another class with setters and getters. Is that enough to store it? How would I call it? Again this is homework so any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!</p>

    2. CO@LouisWasserman I get two issues. not errors. Right now when I run the program it welcomes the user, asks them for the number of students to enter and then does nothing. Doesn't prompt them to enter a name or anything. The other issue was before I attempted to create the array. The program would ask how many entries but if you typed 2 or 3 it only asked once so it wasn't getting the information from the getStudentCount() method

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
