How do I fix a NullPointerException in Java?

A NullPointerException occurs when you try to use an object reference that has not been initialized. Check if your object is null before using it.

Can you give me an example of how to check for null?

Sure! You can use an if statement like this: if (myObject != null) { // use myObject }.

What if I want to handle it differently?

You can use a try-catch block to handle the exception. For example: try { // code that may throw } catch (NullPointerException e) { // handle exception }.

Are there any tools to help debug these issues?

Yes, you can use IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse, which have built-in debugging tools to help you trace and fix issues.
