So I'm running a program that does various things to a String array. One of them is a inserting a string inside the array and sorting it. I'm able to use the sort method, but when I attempt to insert a string and then sort it I get a NullPointerException. This is the code:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
public class List_Driver
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
int choice = 1;
int checker = 0;
String [] words = new String[5];
words[0] = "telephone";
words[1] = "shark";
words[2] = "bob";
ListWB first = new ListWB(words);
int menu = uWB.getI("1. Linear Seach\n2. Binary Search\n3. Insertion in Order\n4. Swap\n5. Change\n6. Add\n7. Delete\n8. Insertion Sort\n9. Quit\n");
switch(menu)
{
//other cases
case 3:
{
String insert = uWB.getS("What term are you inserting?");
first.insertionInOrder(insert);
first.display();
}//not working
break;
}//switch menu
}//main
}//List_Driver
uWB is a basic util driver. It doesn't have any problems. This is the ListWB file itself:
public class ListWB
{
public void insertionSort()
{
for(int i = 1; i < size; i++)
{
String temp = list[i];
int j = i;
while(j > 0 && temp.compareTo(list[j-1])<0)
{
list[j] = list[j-1];
j = j-1;
}
list[j] = temp;
}
}
public void insertionInOrder(String str)
{
insertionSort();
int index = 0;
if(size + 1 <= list.length)
{
while(index < size && str.compareTo(list[index])>0)
index++;
size++;
for (int x = size -1; x> index; x--)
list[x] = list[x-1];
list[index] = str;
}
else
System.out.println("Capacity Reached");
}//insertioninorder
}//ListWB
How would I fix this?
