将参数传递给对象数组

Question

I created an array of objects like this:

Handler handlers[] = new Handler[4];

Each handler object takes in a socket object as parameter. How do I pass through the socket for the handlers? I guess more generally how do I pass through arguments in an array of objects?

I've tried this:

handlers[1](someSocket);

and it (obviously?) didn't work.

Answer 1

This

Handler handlers[] = new Handler[4];

Allocates room for 4 Handler instances, it doesn't allocate any actual Handler (s). You could do something like,

Handler[] handlers = new Handler[4];
for (int i = 0; i < handlers.length; i++) {
  handlers[i] = new Handler();
}

or even

Handler[] handlers = new Handler[] {
  new Handler(), new Handler(), new Handler(), new Handler()
};

Answer 2

Iterate over each element in the array. Create a new handler, pass it a socket, and store it in the array like this:

Handler handlers[] = new Handler[4];
for(int index=0;index<4;index++){
    handlers[index]= new Handler(socket);
}
