Can't initialize a simple array

[yotamoo]

hey you all
i'm trying to initialize a databse, which is no more then a simple string array. i want to withdraw data from this array using another file.
here's my code:

PHP Code:

class DataBase {

String[2] db;

void formatDataBase() {
for (i=0; i<=2; i++) {
db[i]=null;
}
}

// void addBrand(String brand) {
// for (int i=1; i<=2; i++) {
// if (db[i]==null) {db[i]=brand;}
// }
// }

} 


but i get the following errors:

3 errors
yotam@main computer:~/Documents/java/Car$ javac DataBase.java
DataBase.java:3: ']' expected
String[2] db;
^
DataBase.java:3: ';' expected
String[2] db;
^
DataBase.java:3: <identifier> expected
String[2] db;
^
3 errors

anyone? i'm lost, have no idea!

You cannot specify the size of the array in the datatype. You need to do that in the initialization: String[] db = new String[2];.
Your 'i' also needs a datatype, probably an int. You should also get the length of the db variable if you want to loop it; the above will throw an indexOutOfBounds exception when you try to write to db[2] since there is no memory for this location.
