RE: ARRAY - Char

[Nick.Vrtis@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Alistair,

Just to clarify.... length as used in referring to an array is not a
METHOD.  It's a public variable.  I belive that there are a couple of
objects which have a method length(), but most use size().

Maarten,

Length is a valid method (Irrespective of your primitive data type). I
don't
know why it's not working. Where are you compiling this?

Alistair

Is it possible to get the length of a Char Array:

Here is my code:
char[] letters = current.toCharArray();
     for (int count2 = 0; count2<letters.lenght; count2++)

and here is the error:
Wheel.java:33: Attempt to reference field lenght in a char[].
        for (int count2 = 0; count2<letters.lenght; count2++) {
                                           ^

It looks like you can only get the lenght of an INT but not from a CHAR.
Am I right about this or not?

Maarten
