ARRAYS and OBJECTS

Just as you created arrays of primitive data types,
you can also create arrays of objects.

Example:

Student [] stu = new Student[10];     // create an array of Student objects

for(n=0;n<10;n++)
    stu[n] = new Student();  // note in the parenthesis supply the parameters needed
                                            // by the class constructor ..  In this loop we are actually
                                            // creating 10 objects.  A reference to each object is stored
                                            // in each respective array element

String s;
for(n=0;n<10;n++)
   {
      s=JOptionPane.showInputDialog("enter student name ");
      stu[n].enterName(s);         //  calling the enterName method in a loop on each of the
                                                  //  10 stu objects and passing a student's name. This assumes
                                                  // that the 'enterName' method wants a String parameter.
   }             

String out="";
for(n=0;n<10;n++)
    out += stu[n].getName();    // get the 10 stu objects's names and concatenate them for printing
                                                  // This assumes that the "getName" method returns the name
