.class expected error when passing array to function

I'm new to java and have been trying to create a program to generate 100 numbers and sort odds and evens. The program has even giving an .class expected error no matter what I do. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The [] is not needed in this line instead of

int randomNumbers[] = new int[100];
// and 
int oddNumbers[] = getOddNumbers(oddCount, randomNumbers[]);

write

int[] randomNumbers = new int[100];
// and
int[] oddNumbers = getOddNumbers(oddCount, randomNumbers);

The [] is part of the type, not the name.

Answer 2

When referring to an array as a whole, don't use the [] with the variable name. Change

int oddNumbers[] = getOddNumbers(oddCount, randomNumbers[]);
int evenNumbers[] = getEvenNumbers(evenCount, randomNumbers[]);

to

int oddNumbers[] = getOddNumbers(oddCount, randomNumbers);
int evenNumbers[] = getEvenNumbers(evenCount, randomNumbers);

Answer 3

As Peter Lawrey stated, you don't need the brackets on the function calls. There are also a few other compilation errors. First, it looks like you have a copy/paste error in the getEvenNumbers function. Inside the for loop oddNumbers should be evenNumbers.

You also need to initialize the ints oddCount and evenCount (probably to 0).
