You tried to access an object you haven't constructed yet, meaning
you're using only a reference.
The reference has to be constructed or point to an object somewhere,
should look like this:

Foo f = new Foo();
f.func();

if you just have:

Foo f;
f.func();

You're trying to access memory that isn't there.
The line:

new Foo();

Allocates memory and points the reference 'f' to it.  f can then be
used to access that memory.

Its called a nullpointerexception because currently your reference is
pointing to a null memory address (invalid).
