Beginner needing help!

[chris19845]

Hi there, I am a complete beginner so apologies if I make not a lot of sense.

What I am trying to do is write a simple class, it has a class array variable named test of type String, ie private String[] test;

I need to write a constructor that will take a string Array as its argument then assign it to the test variable?

I am sure it is very easy, if anyone could help I'd be most grateful

Cheers

Chris

have you used Java Strings?
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/data/strings.html

why an array of Strings and not a Vector or ArrayList of Strings

Thanks for the reply.

What if the array was of the integer type?

Basically I need the basic syntax of what I was trying to do regardless of whether or not there is a better way!

An example syntax would be great.

 public MyConstructor(String[] array) { 
      test = array;
