I am trying to make a class that represents an integer with 100 digits. Not so much because I need it, but to learn more about constructors. The constructor takes a String (all numbers) and places each digit into an element of an array. Index 0 is the ones place, Index 1 is the tens place, ... Whenever I try to create a second object (Bint), it replaces all the fields of the first Bint with the fields of the second Bint. (Bint = Big Int)
public class Bint { // Fields: private static int[] nums = new int[100]; // Constructor: public Bint(String s) { for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) { nums[i] = Integer.parseInt("" + s.charAt(s.length() - i - 1)); } } ... public static void main(String[] args) { Bint b1 = new Bint("12"); Bint b2 = new Bint("23"); System.out.println(toString(add(b1, b2))); } Prints out 46 (23 + 23, because b2 somehow replaces b1 in the constructor.)
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!
