Clearing arrays
Jan 19th, 2008, 4:08am  
I have 4 arrays:

Red[] red = new Red[0];
Green[] green = new Green[0];
Yellow[] yellow = new Yellow[0];
Blue[] blue = new Blue[0];

And want to clear them when I click this space:

 if (mouseX >= 440 && mouseX <= 530 && mouseY >= 710 && mouseY <= 760) {
 // insert clear command
   }

What would I need to issue to clear the arrays? Thanks for your help in advance!

Code:


Red[] red = new Red[0];
Green[] green = new Green[0];
Yellow[] yellow = new Yellow[0];
Blue[] blue = new Blue[0];
 
if (mouseX >= 440 && mouseX <= 530 && mouseY >= 710 && mouseY <= 760) {

  red = new Red[0];
  green = new Green[0];
  yellow = new Yellow[0];
  blue = new Blue[0]

    }


This makes new objects and releases the old arrays from memory (if no other variable is referencing it).
