Problem defining a constant in java

[stonecoldgen]

I have:

public final static int NUMERO_ESCENARIOS=4;

escenarios = new escenario[NUMERO_ESCENARIOS];

having an error in the first line that says: Syntax error on token ";", , expected


but when I have:

public final static int NUMERO_ESCENARIOS=4 //semi colon deleted

escenarios = new escenario[NUMERO_ESCENARIOS];

I get no error in the definition of the constant but I obviously get a syntax error in the array definition

and when I have:

public final static int NUMERO_ESCENARIOS=4;

//array definition errased

the constant definition is fine





so what the hell is happening? thanks

Have you defined "escenario" as a class? (by the way, it is considered good Java practice to spell you classes with an initial upper case letter).

yes, and now that you mention it, I found out that escenario was actually Escenario (so I changed everything in my code to have that uppercase)

however, I still have the initial problem

If Escenario is a class, why are you using square brackets (which are used to access an array or List element) to pass NUMERO_ESCENARIOS to the constructor method? Shouldn't you have something like

public final static int NUMERO_ESCENARIOS=4;

Escenario escenarios = new Escenario(NUMERO_ESCENARIOS);

instead?

Or, if you are trying to create an array of Escenario objects, then you would first need to define escenarios to be an Array variable of type Escenario:

public final static int NUMERO_ESCENARIOS=4;

Escenario[] escenarios = new Escenario[NUMERO_ESCENARIOS];
