Thanks Sang and Sue,
The error that i got initially is given below:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source
code - incompatible types
required: java.lang.String
found: java.lang.String[]
at GreatestNumber.main(GreatestNumber.java:24)
Java Result: 1
However, based on Sue's advice I changed it to the following and now it
works fine:
firstname[counter] = personfull[counter].split(" ")[0];
This only gets the first name.
Let me know if there is the right approach.
Thank you.
Regards,
Ravishankar Rajagopalan
