Constructor using multiple arrays in java -

having trouble creating constructor takes multiple 1 dimensional arrays of strings:

class relation {  string[] seta, setb, setc;  relation (string[] seta, string[] setb, string[] setc) {     this.seta = seta;     this.setb = setb;     this.setc = setc; }  }  public class matrix {  public static void main(string[] args) {      relation relation1 = new relation({"1","2","3","4","5"}, {"1","2","3","4"}, {"2","3","4","5"});     relation relation2 = new relation({"a","b","c","d"}, {"a","b","c","d","b","c"}, {"a","b","c","d","c","b"});  }  } 

i keep getting multiple errors - syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s) - type mismatch: cannot convert string[] relation - syntax error on token "}", delete token - syntax error on token ")", } expected

i need able use each array separately withing relation class.

you can't use array literals way in java - have explicitly initialize them. e.g.:

relation relation1 = new relation(new string[]{"1","2","3","4","5"},                                    new string[]{"1","2","3","4"},                                   new string[]{"2","3","4","5"});
