at first i though i was bieng a craphead @ java but i soon realised this isnt normal.

so i have my test class, and inside thtis class i have a String array that holds colors.

public class test {
private String[] colors;

colors[0]= "Red";
colors[1]="Black";
colors[2]="Cyan";
colors[3]="Blue";
colors[4]="Brown";
colors[5]="Dark Gray";
colors[6]="Dark Green";
colors[7]="Gray";
colors[8]="Light Blue";
colors[9]="Light Green";
colors[10]="Magenta";
colors[11]="Orange";
colors[12]="Pink";
colors[13]="Purple";
colors[14]="White";
colors[15]="Yellow";

}

but my eclipse its telling me that there is a expected "{" after the first ";"

how do i fix this?

Its *erroring* (spelling) because you cant assign values to an array within a class it has to be in a method to assign values and by the looks of the values within this you want to make it private static final rather than making a new one of these arrays everytime the class is made.

 

for non forge questions I would suggest http://stackoverflow.com/

 

public class test
{
private static final String[] colors =
{
		"Red",
		"Black",
		"Cyan",
		"Blue",
		"Brown",
		"Dark Gray",
		"Dark Green",
		"Gray",
		"Light Blue",
		"Light Green",
		"Magenta",
		"Orange",
		"Pink",
		"Purple",
		"White",
		"Yellow"
};
}

you cant assign values to an array within a class it has to be in a method to assign values

public class foo{
public static final String[] yadda = new String[3];
//Only called once
static{
yadda[0] = "blah";
yadda[1] = "herp";
yadda[2] = "derp";
}
//as opposed to this, which is called when the class is given a new Object instance
{
yadda[2] = "merp";
}
}
[code]
argument is invalid. no method is needed to assign static variables. though the point on using initializers is a good one for this case, however it's not fun when it could just be recursed over or needs to be read externally, but that's a whole different question

I could have sworn I replied to this thread, along the lines of...

 

private static final String[] colors = new String[16]; //INITIALIZE ME FIRST 

 

Ah well.

you did but either you deleted your own post or a moderator did

I didn't delete it.  No idea why a  mod would have, either.  It was basically a copy-past of the OP's code with that one change.

and what's the error?

the error on line 79: expected { after the ;

i removed comments and item/block declatartiosn ect because its irelevant but read the comments below to fix it
