Primitive variable and reference variable

2. Array

declare: 

int[] nums;

create a new int array:

nums = new int[7];

arrays are objects too.

3.Exercise

A. We should create new Books objects after we create a new Books array.

class BooksTestDrive{
	public static void main(String[] args){
		Books[] myBooks = new Books[3];
		int x = 0;
		
		while (x < 3){
			myBooks[x] = new Books();
			x = x + 1;
		}
		
		myBooks[0].title = "A";
		myBooks[1].title = "B";
		myBooks[2].title = "C";
		myBooks[0].author= "a";
		myBooks[1].author= "b";
		myBooks[2].author= "c";
		
		x = 0;
		while (x < 3){
			System.out.println(myBooks[x].title + " by " + myBooks[x].author);
			x = x + 1;
		}
	}
}
