Creating an Array of type String with 10 inputs-CodePudding

I wanted to practice with array and I don't get why it doesn't print the following out: The problem is that the terminal outputs: null Why is that and what did I do wrong?

package Practice;

public class CreatingArrays {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String[] women = { "persian", "palestinian", "german", "russian", "spanish", "italian", "greek", "hungarian",
                "brazilian", "turkish" };
        women = new String[10];

        System.out.println(women[8]);

    }
}

CodePudding user response：

You are re-assigning women to be an empty string[10] before printing to console. Remove women = new String[10]; and it should work fine.

CodePudding user response：

String[] women = { "persian", "palestinian", "german", "russian",
"spanish", "italian", "greek", "hungarian","brazilian", "turkish" };

System.out.println(women[8]);

Will work for you.
