Combine objects of a Class to form an other Class
Mar 31st, 2009, 7:34am  
Hey Processing-community,

the question is: can I combine objects of a certain Class to form a new Class.

In code:
I have a certain amount of objects (of class Node() ) and I want to form a new object, which is a combination of a certain (on forehand unknown number) of Nodes: class NodeCombination().

How do I make the constructor of the class NodeCombination?
I have now the following, which gives a lot of errors:

Code:

class NodeCombination {
  int NON;
  Node usedNodes[];

  NodeCombination(nodes[float numberOfNodes]) {
    this.NON = numberOfNodes;
    this.usedNodes = nodes[NON];
  }

}


Should I first maybe create an arraylist of the Nodes I want to use, and can I than use this arraylist in the declaration of the class NodeCombination?

class NodeCombination
{
 int numNodes;
 Node[] nodes;
 NodeCombination(Node[] _nodes)
 {
   numNodes = _nodes.length;
   nodes = _nodes;
 }
}
