ProblemToday we'll look at sending an array to another method.
public class PrintArray{ public static void main (String [] args){ //class list for comp 1010 String [] comp1010 = { "Adam", "Bob", "Carl", "David", "Edward"}; //class list for comp 1020 String [] comp1020 = { "Amy", "Beth", "Cindy", "Dawn", "Ellen"}; //class list for comp 1260 String [] comp1260 = { "Mike", "Mary", "Matthew", "Megan", "Moe"}; }} Now add to this code by writing a method which will take an array of Strings as an input. Inside this method you want to print out the entire contents of the array. This method should be void, as you are not returning anything. |
