Hello am trying to declare an array in java but i do not want the array to have a specific size because each time the size must be different.
I used this declaration: int[] myarray5;
but when am trying the below code there is an error on myarray5
for(int i=0; i<=myarray1.length - 1; i++){ for (int j=0; j<=myarray2.length - 1; j++){ if (myarray1[i] == myarray2[j]){ myarray5[k] = myarray2[j]; k++; } } }
and also when am printing the array:
for (int i=0; i<=myarray3.length-1; i++){ System.out.print(myarray3[i]+","); }

Answer
There is a NullPointerException
because you declared but never initialized the array.
You can dynamically declare an array as shown below.
int size = 5; // or anyother value you want int[] array = new int[size];
Or you use a list. Which allows to dynamically change the size. E.g:
List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>(); list.add(5); //adds number 5 to the list int number = list.get(0); // Returns Element which is located at position 0 (so in this example in number will be "5");
