Storing objects in array (Haxe)

Question

How would I go about sorting an new instance of an object into an array in Haxe?

For example I have a class called weapon and in the player class I gave an array inventory. So how would I store this?

private void gun:Weapon

gun = new Weapon; //into the array

Please edit your question so as to include the code you have already tried, and an explanation of how it is not working. Also, you may find this helpful: [How do I ask a good question?](http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask). — MJH, Oct 14 '16 at 04:01

I think you are looking for this:

private var inventory:Array<Weapon>;

This is an array of type Weapon. To add stuff to it use push(), as seen in this example:

class Test {
    static function main() new Test();

    // create new array
    private var inventory:Array<Weapon> = [];

    public function new() {
        var weapon1 = new Weapon("minigun");
        inventory.push(weapon1);

        var weapon2 = new Weapon("rocket");
        inventory.push(weapon2);

        trace('inventory has ${inventory.length} weapons!');
        trace('inventory:', inventory);
    }
}

class Weapon {
    public var name:String;
    public function new(name:String) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

Found the answer must be writen like this

private var inventory:Array;

With Weapon being the class name.
