René:
when you want to use an array there are 3 steps that you should follow:
declare the array
int [] ages;
define the size:
ages = new int [10]; // at this point you just define the max size of the
array
the third step is to fill the array, that mean that you should start on
position 0 to 9 (you start on zero and you define the max size as 10 )
for example ages[0] = 100;
now ... answering your question what you should do is the following:
public class ArrayTest
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Declare and create new int array whose size is 10
int[] ages = new int[10];
int j = 100;
int count = 0;
//before you display your array you should fill it.
for (int i = 0; i< ages.length; i++)
{
ages[i] = j;
j ++;
}
// now that you have your array filled you can displayed.
// Display the values of each entry in the array
// count variable will help you to obtain each value of your array (start on
ages [0] and moves until ages[9] that is the last element of your array)
// you could either use while or for controls to perform this.
while (count<ages.length)
{
System.out.println(ages[count] );
count++;
}
}
}

Olivia
