methods for a soccer game

Fist thing, did you at least try to understand the points I suggested in my previous reply ?

I need to wite a constructor to accept a value for the group name and initialise the team array with space for 4 Team objects.

So, why are you passing an array of integers (name) and the count arguments ? They don't have any meaning or puprose.

A method called addTeam(…) is required to add a team to the array. This
method should be passed a Team object to insert. the Group class is
responsible for keeping track of how many Team objects are in the teams array, to ensure that existing teams are not accidentally replaced.

Well, for now your function doesn't do anything. Hint: you should use the count member variable to know how many teams are already in the array. BTW, will you need to remove teams from the array at some point ? If yes, then you need to check if your array contains null pointers, which means this is an empty slot (and don't dorget to set a slot to null when you remove a team).

A method called getOrderedLadder(…) that can return a String, listing the
teams in the group, in order of number of points scored. I need to iterate through the array of team objects, comparing the match points that each team has.
The last method called getStandings(…) will perform the same actions
as the method above, but will only return the top two teams, for the “final standings”
These are the methods i need help with as you can see i could not begin them in my code.

For these, you should already start doing something on your own. We are here to help you, not do your homework for you.

Hi,

Sounds like a nice project!

You will get more answers here if you have a go at creating the class and then come back here with a specific problem or question. :thumbsup: :)

This is my attempt at the class bt i am already having some problems if u can please help.

public class Group
{
    // instance variables
    private String groupName;
    private Team[]name;
    private int count;
    /**
     * Constructor for objects of class Group
     */
    public Group()
    {
    }
    //methods
    public Group (String theGroupName,int [ ] name, int count)
    {
        groupName = theGroupName;
        name = new Team[4] ;
        count = 0;
    }
    public String getGroupname()
    {
        return groupName;
    }

    public int getTeamsize()
    {
        return name.length;
    }
    public void setGroupname()
    {
        groupName = thegroupName;
    }
    public void teamAdd(Team name)
    {
        boolean teamAdded = false;
         for (int count=0; count <4; count ++)
         {
             return name;
         }
    }
}
