title: How to create an array of Rectangles with a Rectangle class?
body: <p>I'm working on an assignment that is supposed to return an array of 10 rectangles with a random height, random width, and random color selected from a string.</p>
  
  <p>The program works fine to return the objects for ONE rectangle, but how would I implement this to create an array of 10 rectangles and THEN return each one in a loop?</p>
  
  <p>Here's my class file with my objects:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.util.*;
  
  public class Rectangle 
  {
      private double width;
      private double height;
      public static String color = "White";
      private Date date;
  
  Rectangle() {
      width = 1;
      height = 1;
      date = new Date(); 
      }
  
  Rectangle (double w, double h) {
      width = w;
      height = h;
      date = new Date();
      }
  
  public double getHeight() {
      return height;
      }
  
  public void setHeight(double h) {
      height = h;
      }
  
  public double getWidth() {
      return width;
      }
  
  public void setWidth(double w) {
      width = w;
      }
  
  public static String getColor() {
      return color;
      }
  
  public static void setColor(String c) {
      color = c;
      }
  
  public Date getDate() {
      return date;
      }
  
  public void setDate (Date d) {
      date = d; 
      }
  
  public double getArea() {
      return width * height;
      }
  
  public double getPerimeter() {
      return 2  * (width + height);
      }
  
  public String toString() {
      String S;
      S = "Rectangle with width of " + width;
      S = S + " and height of " + height;
      S = S + " was created on " + date.toString();
      return S;
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>}</p>
  
  <p>Here is my client program so far. I am setting a random height and a random width and selecting a random color from the colors String. </p>
  
  <p>I would like to be able to do this for an array of 10 different rectangles: </p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.util.*;
  
  public class ClientRectangle 
  {
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
          String[] colors = {"White","Blue","Yellow","Red","Green"};
  
          Rectangle r = new Rectangle();
          int k;
          for(int i = 0; i &lt; 10; i++)
          {
              r.setWidth((Math.random()*40)+10); 
              r.setHeight((Math.random()*40)+10);
              System.out.println(r.toString() + " has area of " + r.getArea() + " and perimeter of " + r.getPerimeter());
              k = (int)(Math.random()*4)+1;
              System.out.println(colors[k]);
  
          }
  
  
  
      }
  }       
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
