遇到java。lang.NullPointerException

Question

我遇到了两个与NullPointerException相关的错误，我认为它们是相关的，所以我将发布我在尝试从salaryEmployee对象添加employee时收到的错误

这是我收到的错误：

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at EmployeeList.getIndex(EmployeeList.java:40)
    at EmployeeDriver.main(EmployeeDriver.java:99)

public class EmployeeList
{

    private final int EMPLOYEES_MAX = 50;
    private Employee[] employees = new Employee[EMPLOYEES_MAX];
    private int currentEmployees;

    public EmployeeList()
    {
        employees = new Employee[EMPLOYEES_MAX];
        currentEmployees = 0;
    }

    public int getIndex( int empNum )
    {
        int index = -1;
        for(int i = 0; i < currentEmployees; i++)
        {
            if(employees[i].getEmployeeNumber() == empNum)  *error here (line 40)*
            {
                index = i;
                i = 51;

        return index;

这实际上意味着employees数组中的一个或多个条目是null。我不知道为什么，因为问题中没有足够的信息。但是如果你能发布你所有的代码，我就可以找出它并告诉你出了什么问题
