Question

The problem is that the print statement JOptionPane does not like to recognize that the word input exists, because it was initiated inside of the for loop. Think you can help? it is not finished yet, in case you are wondering. But this is everything that I have so far.


package javaapplication63;

import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

public class JavaApplication63 {
   
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int numStudents = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog
            (null, "Create your class, How many people are in your class?"));
    
        String[] students = new String[numStudents];
    
        for(int i = 0; i < numStudents; i++){
            students[i] = JOptionPane.showInputDialog
                ("Now enter the names of your students.  " 
                    + "Student #" + (i + 1) + ":");
        }
        
            JTextField[] nameBox = new JTextField[numStudents];
            
            for(int i = 0; i < numStudents; i++){
                nameBox[i] = new JTextField();
                
                final JComponent[] inputs = new JComponent[] {
                    new JLabel(students[i]),
                    nameBox[i],
                };
            }
            
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, inputs, "A-Absent, T-Tardy, "  
// problem = inputs
                    + "E-Excused, nothing-on time", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
            
    }
}

You'll have to write a specification of what it is you're trying to do.

You're creating some components, JTextField and JLabel objects are components, so you must want to put them into a window, a JFrame.  Try extending JFrame and adding your components to the frame.

Your code won't work since inputs is declared inside your for loop.  It can't be seen outside that for loop.  YOur code also doesn't seem to make logical sense since you're looping over students, creating text fields, and an array of inputs for each iteration.
