Trailhead challenge(Create an Apex class that returns an array (or list) of strings.) is throwing error

Create an Apex class that returns an array (or list) of strings: 
Create an Apex class that returns an array (or list) of formatted strings ('Test 0', 'Test 1', ...). The length of the array is determined by an integer parameter.The Apex class must be called 'StringArrayTest' and be in the public scope.
The Apex class must have a public static method called 'generateStringArray'.
The 'generateStringArray' method must return an array (or list) of strings. Each string must have a value in the format 'Test n' where n is the index of the current string in the array. The number of returned strings is specified by the integer parameter to the 'generateStringArray' method.

MyApexClass to above Challenge:

public class StringArrayTest {
    
    public static List<string> generateStringArray(Integer n)
    {
        List<String> myArray = new List<String>();
        
        for(Integer i=0;i<n;i++)
        {
            myArray.add('Test'+i);
            System.debug(myArray[i]);
        }
        return myArray;
        
    }


It's compile and execute as per requirement in Developer console. But Traihead showing the below error:

Challenge not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
Executing the 'generateStringArray' method failed. Either the method does not exist, is not static, or does not return the proper number of strings.

Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Sattibabu,
Please find below a little fix for your issue.

The problem was the space between Test and the number you had : Test0, Test1.... and what was necessary was Test 0, Test 1, ... 
public class StringArrayTest {
    
    public static List<String> generateStringArray(Integer n)
    {
        List<String> myArray = new List<String>();
        for(Integer i=0;i<n;i++)
        {
           myArray.add('Test '+i);
           System.debug(myArray[i]);
        }
        return myArray;
    }
}

Also I will say that if in the test we pass through a negative value it will create values in the array then maybe for real purposes you would like to validate that.

Hope it it helpful :)

Regards,
Carolina.

Hi Sattibadu, 
Sorry my bad , I was thinking in "while" instead "for". It will be fine always as the starting point is 0 :) Sorry for the misunderstanding, my bad I was thinking in 2 variables and "while" ( that is what happen to me when I try to do several things at the same time :P .. mix mix  ) 

Well.. Happy that is working now :)

Carolina - Thanks again for your reply and explanation.  I really grateful of you. Sorry for making you mix of several things :)

DmonikaDmonika
Hi Ghanshyam ,

List<String> xx = new List<String>();
String[]  xx = new List<String>(); both are same.Here we are declaring the list string variable.
The repersentation is different.

Hi, can anyone tell me where is my error ?

apexCode

When I execute this, I have this error message:
Line: 2, Column: 1
Static methods cannot be invoked through an object instance: generateStringArray(Integer)


Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Uvais KomathUvais Komath
@sahana rasiah You just have to click check challenge for completing it. no need to invoke from execute window.
However if u wish to see for yourself you need to invoke the method using the class name not an object
Uvais KomathUvais Komath
StringArrayTest.generateStringArray(5);
is what`s required
Sahana RasiahSahana Rasiah
@Uvais Komath Yes thank you, I forget this detail (class name not an object) but when I click check challenge for completing I always have this message

           System.debug(myArray[i]);
        }
        return myArray;
    }
}
Uvais KomathUvais Komath

I see nothing wrong with your code except the following mistake.

 

Instead of  

for(Integer i=0;i<5;i++)

Use

for(Integer i=0;i<n;i++)

Trailhead might be calling your function with a value passed greater than 5 and might not be seeing test output above 5.

please check that and letme know

Carolina Ruiz MedinaCarolina Ruiz Medina
Hi Piyush,
It is failing because the challenge is checking for these strings: 'Text 0', 'Text 1' ... but you have 'Text0','Text1' ....
You need to add the space between the Text word and the number:
myArray.add('Test ' + i);

Hope it helps.

Carolina.

Hi Geoffery,

Change your peace of code as below
"for(Integer i = 0; i <= n; i++)" to "for (Integer i = 0; i <=n; i++)"
"public static list<string> generateStringArray(Integer n)" to "public static List<String> generateStringArray(Integer n)"

That should work.

Don't forget that APEX is case sensitive, so if you are declaring an object or a method return (like in this example List<String> is different from list<String>
cfernald7cfernald7
And FWIW, regarding the question from Ghanshyam on 6/10/15 about the difference between String[] and List<String>, I think it's primarily that declaring a List doesn't require also declaring an initial list size (i.e. number of elements) as does declaring an array. The list size wasn't given as a requirement and using that declarative gives more flexibility.

    public static List<String> generateStringArray(Integer n) {
    
    // Instantiate the String Array object

Hi Tanushree, can you please share the error that is displayed?

Just some things that I saw:

- The return array is not wrapped in parentheses, ().

Im not sure if the above things make a difference.

This trails was very old.. moreover this error because of some technical issues.. whenever this occurred better contact to SFDC technical team instead replying here...
Spence WilsonSpence Wilson
Thanks I guess.  How do I contact them?  

For something thats such an extremely simple program to write I am somewhat disturbed that a bug so small remains unfixed. Perhaps this is tied to a larger rule..?

Is this even a valid challenge anymore?  I cant seem to find it.

@Suresh,
Try executing like this: StringArrayTest.generateStringArray(10);
I was missing the ';' at the end too ;)

Hi, 
I click on "check challenge", after some minutes I've this message:

"Looks like we're having issues, please try again. If this issue persists, please contact us using the submit feedback section on the sidebar."

Can someone help me to solve it?

Cheers

Hi, This is a separate issue. Please create another thread with this question. Also, the initial question to this thread has been solved. 

Suggestion: Log out and log back into trailhead and check the challenge. 

Thank you!

OK, I know some of you will laugh, but I'm going to add some comments about more basic issues I was having here that noobs may experience as well. And you wouldn't be on this exercise if you weren't a noob. First, don't create your code in the "Anonymous Execute Window", that doesn't count. Make sure you do File -> New -> Apex Class and write it in that window. And when you're done, make sure you do File -> Save, otherwise Trailhead won't realize you've done anything

I am not that good at code.. but can we do below - 

myArray[i] = 'Test ' + i;
  
instead of  myArray.add('Test '+i);

It didnt work and gave out of bound exception. Just wanted to know if any code similar to this is there or it is fully wrong??
sorry for my ignorance :)

Hi ,
User-added image
getting the same error :  Executing the 'generateStringArray' method failed. Either the method does not exist, is not static, or does not return the proper number of strings.
Apex class
------------------
public class StringArrayTest  {
    
// Public static method
    public static list<string> generateStringArray(integer n) {
        List <string> output = new List<string>();
        for (integer i = 0; i <=n; i++) {
            output.add('Test'+ i);
                
        } 
       
       return output;
    }
  
}

Execute Anonymous window
----------------------------------------
list<string> myArray = StringArrayTest.generateStringArray(5);
system.debug(myArray);

However, in the APEX log , I can see status as "Success".  But as soon as I click on "check challenge for 500 points" green button on trailhead screen, new lAPEX log shows up with following error :
"EXCEPTION_THROWN [1]|System.AssertException: Assertion Failed: Expected: 11, Actual: 10" 

check screenshot attached.

Hello everybody,

Swetaleenas hint did it for me. 

First entered it with the add-method from the list-object, didn´t work, but with the Array-Style [] it worked... funny thing is, this is explained as synonymous...

Greetings Martin

To anyone who goes all the way down this list changes their code, and tries the code given that is represented as working and are still seeing the same error. I did the same, following several other forum links, all with the same errors or worse. 

It was only in later modules that my fix appeared. 
If all else fails, create a new developer org, the processes and flows created for contacts in previous trails and modules will cause this to fail. deactivating the Processes and Flows in the org I was using got me through those, but for this specific one, it took a whole new org,

This code worked perfectly in a new org and failed in the old one.
Hope this helped someone, Soon I will think that bulling through this helped me, but still a little sore from the battle.

Create an Apex class with a method that returns an array (or list) of formatted strings ('Test 0', 'Test 1', ...). The length of the array is determined by an integer parameter.
The Apex class must be called StringArrayTest and be in the public scope
The Apex class must have a public static method called generateStringArray
The generateStringArray method must return an array (or list) of strings
The method must accept an incoming Integer as a parameter, which will be used to determine the number of returned strings
The method must return a string value in the format Test n where n is the index of the current string in the array

This one is working fine for the challenge. Please note that inside FOR loop do not use (i<=input) for this challenge. (i<input) will work just fine.

public class StringArrayTest
{
     public static List<String> generateStringArray(Integer input)
    {
        List<String> OutputList = new List<String>();
        for(Integer i=0;i<input;i++) {
            OutputList.add('Test '+i);
            System.debug(OutputList[i]);
         }
        return OutputList;
    }
}

Thank you @Himanshu Kumar 50, i had the same error and his code worked for me. 

One more question for some code in this unit, for the following code:
public void sendMail(String address, String subject, String body) {
// Create an email message object
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
String[] toAddresses = new String[] {address};
mail.setToAddresses(toAddresses);
mail.setSubject(subject);
mail.setPlainTextBody(body);

 
-The 4th line, what dose "{address}" this means/refers to?  i didn't find this usage in the guide book.  
-The last 3 lines, i guess they are passing values right? but what is the created "mail", a messaging list or what?   and those setxxx are functions from system? like "add" ?
Thank you
