[Java] Changing array from another class

Ok so my question I'm hoping is pretty simple:

I have an Array from one class, lets call it squares. It generates 100 squares. I have another class called reset. I want reset to take the array from the other class and set all the locations to 0.

How would I go about something like this?

This wrecks the object-oriented principle of encapsulation. Why not just create a method within Class A called resetArray that does the same job. Doing what you ask however can be accomplished by making said array public and then modifying it in the other class, but like I stated, that is a bad habit to get into.

Code:

---

class blah
{
  sometype array[100];

  function reset()
  {
    for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
    {
      array[i] = 0;
    }
  }
}

blah var;

var.reset();

something along those lines.

Why would you have a class to reset the array?!? Why not do what bone-you suggested above?!?

Code:

---

class myClass
{
        int[] myArray = new int[100];

        void reset()
        {
                for (int i = 0; i < myArray.length(); i++)
                {
                        myArray[i] = 0;
                }
        }
}

class myProgram
{
        myClass instanceOfClass = new myClass();
       
        myClass.reset();
}

Correct.
The complete OPPOSITE of OOP programming is creating a new class to store the function.

Here's a C# example (It should work with Java, seeing that I'm not using any C# libraries, except the Console.WriteLine)

PHP Code:

---

class MySquareArray
{
     static int[] myarray = new int[1000];

     public static void ResetValues(int[] array)
     {
          foreach(int i in myarray)
          {
               i = 0;
          }
     }
}

class MyOtherClass
{
     static void Main()
     {
     //Example scenario...
     foreach(int i in MySquareArray.myarray)
     {
          Console.WriteLine(i + "in myarray.");
     }

     Console.WriteLine("Now resetting!");

     MySquareArray.ResetValues(MySquareArray.myarray);

     Console.WriteLine("New values of myarray:");

     foreach(int i in MySquareArray.myarray)
     {
          Console.WriteLine("New value of " + i + "in myarray.");
     }
     }
}
