Why does each element in this array of objects get overwritten by the last object?

Question

I have the following code:

public static void main(String[] args) {
  Player players[] = new Player[2];
  Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
  System.out.p         


        

Answer 1

Its because of the static field. Statics are used across object instances. They are stored at class level.

Below code would work:

class Player
{
    String name;

    public Player(String playerName)
    {
        name = playerName;
    }

    public String getName()
    {
        return name;
    }
}
