title: Cannot instantiate the type for class object (Java)
body: <p>Here's the code where I'm receiving the error (at the second "Killer" after "new").</p>
  
  <pre><code>String[] classes = new String[5];
  
  kills[0] = "Brian Moser";
  kills[1] = "James Doakes";
  kills[2] = "Lila Tourney";
  kills[3] = "Miguel Prado";
  
  Killer morgan = new Killer("Dexter", 
                     "Morgan", 
                     kills,
                     4.0,
                     "Arthur Mitchell",
                     3,
                     false);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This has been giving me quite a bit of trouble, as I see no reason why this declaration should work based on my constructor for Killer.</p>
  
  <p>And here's the Killer class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.util.*;
  
  public abstract class Killer{
  
  public String firstName; 
  public String lastName;
  private String[] killList;
  private double score;
  private String nemesis;
  private int accidents;
  public boolean caught;
  
  public Killer(String firstName, 
              String lastName, 
              String[] killList, 
              double score,
              String nemesis, 
              int accidents, 
              boolean caught) 
  {
                  this.firstName = firstName;
                  this.lastName = lastName;
                  for(int i = 0; i &lt; 5; i++)
                      this.killList[i] = killList[i];
                  this.score = score;
                  this.nemesis = nemesis;
                  this.accidents = accidents;
                  this.caught = caught;
  } //end constructor
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know this probably has a simple solution, but as of now, I'm not seeing it. </p>
