java - Deleting from an Array using object -

if have array ( cannot arraylist ) used store specific things such "dog type", "dog name" , "dog age". create object input these elements. however, if user wants remove whole object ( inputs name, age , age ) can deleting age of dog removed. possible without using arraylist ?

you can in way. no java approach, works , can refactor it.

here have got dog class:

public class dog {      private string name;     private int age;      public string getname() {         return name;     }      public void setname(string name) {         this.name = name;     }      public int getage() {         return age;     }      public void setage(int age) {         this.age = age;     }      public static dog[] removebyname(dog[] list, string name) {         int counter = 0;         dog[] result = new dog[3];         (int = 0; < list.length; i++) {             if (!list[i].getname().equals(name)) {                 result[counter] = list[i];                 counter++;             }         }         return result;     }  } 

here can see how use it:

public class notarraylist {      public static void main(string[] args) {         dog[] dogs = new dog[3];          dog d1 = new dog();         d1.setname("aaa");         d1.setage(1);          dog d2 = new dog();         d2.setname("bbb");         d2.setage(1);          dog d3 = new dog();         d3.setname("ccc");         d3.setage(1);          dogs[0] = d1;         dogs[1] = d2;         dogs[2] = d3;          dog[] res = dog.removebyname(dogs, "aaa");         (dog d : res) {             if (d != null)                 system.out.println(d.getname());         }     } }
