c# - Cannot convert 'Item[]' to 'Item'

Question

In this question I need to use a method 'AddItem' (found in an other .cs called Inventory) to add each item in my 'StoreStartingItem' array to the store's inventory.

I've tried simply calling the method and running the array through it like this:

Inventory.AddItem(StoreStartingItems);

However, I keep getting an error 'Argument 1: cannot convert from 'Shop.Item[]' to 'Shop.Item'.

I've tried changing my 'AddItem' method from using a class parameter to a class array parameter like this:

public bool AddItem(Item item)
        {
            if (mItems == null)
                return true;
            else
                return false;
        }

To this:

public bool AddItem(Item[] item)
        {
            if (mItems == null)
                return true;
            else
                return false;
        }

But then I'm getting an error 'An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'Inventory.AddItem(Item[])''.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

It appears like AddItem takes an Item but you are passing it an array of Item (Item[])

Try this:

foreach (var item in StoreStartingItems)
    Inventory.AddItem(item)
