"Java Woes"

Does anybody here know Java? I'm sure someone does.

Basically I'm trying to write a program to do my coursework for me.
It's to generate a huge truth table for some boolean logic or something. It wouldn't take *that* long to do by hand, but that's not the point. I take a Java class too so I thought it'd be good practice.

The basic idea is that I use a bunch of arrays to hold the information and then just pick in the format needed.

So I've written a method to populate the input variable (arrays) with 0s and 1s
[I plan to change it so it only has to be called once instead of one time per variable but I haven't thought about an alogrithm for that yet]

The relevent bits are:

private int[] s0,s1,i0,i1,i2,i3; //arrays for the input variables

public void populate(int n, int[] var) {
//n is number in an alternation.
//var is the input variable array to write into.
int total = (rows/n)/2;
for (int c = 0; c < total; c++) {
for (int i = 0; i < total; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
var[c] = 0;
}
for (int k = 0; k < n; k++) {
var[c] = 1;
}
}
}
}

Then I call this from main()...

TruthTable t1 = new TruthTable(64);
t1.populate(32, s0);

And it gives me some crap about static contexts:

[Mark@localhost Java Source]$ javac TruthTable.java
TruthTable.java:52: non-static variable s0 cannot be referenced from a static context
t1.populate(32, s0);
^
1 error


What am I doing wrong?



It killed my lovely neat indentation :(

And you'll have to excuse my hundereds of for loops, it wasn't really planned :p

Okay nevermind I got it :p
