Default Issues with arrays - 03-28-2010, 12:20 AM

My assignment requires that when a target color is entered into the array (input) the program returns the location of the penguin with that color (output). How do I do this? This is my program so far...



Any advice is much appreciated, thanks.

I would use a color variable for the input, an object variable for the output, and an object list of the penguins. Now, for all of the penguins, if their color is the input color, set them as the output. Just remember the list part, and not an array.

Actually, I looked at your code, and it's great! What isn't there? You can't prompt for colors very easily, but I'll see what I can do.

I used the template my professor created for the class, so that's probably where all of the "greatness" comes from. I pretty much have no idea what I am doing. I'm having alot of trouble tryingto figure out how to get the output part to work properly. I know I need to change the "return" command. But I'm not sure what to change it to?
