Question

Would this be the right way of implementing the Constructors?

public class Team {

    private Player[] players;
    private int squadSize;

    public Team(Player[] players) {
        this.players = players;
        this.squadSize = players.length;
    public Team() {
        this.players = new Player[4]; 
        this.size = 0; 
    }

}

Finally, how would I proceed to create the first method?

Variables
player [] players
int size;
Constructors
1) First constructor takes in players
a) initialize the value of the size field correctly based on the number of players in
the players array.
2) A constructor that takes no parameters and initializes players to an empty array length of
4.
Methods
1) signPlayer
a) Given an index represented by an int and a player represented by a Player, add
that player to the specified index in the players array.
b) Print the Player that was previously at that index in the following format on its
own line: "Replaced: {old Player}", and return the player that was previously in
that slot.
c) If there is not already a player in the slot, print the player being inserted in the
following format on its own line: “Signed: {player}", and return null.
d) If the index is invalid or the player passed in is null, return null and print out
"Cannot add a player to this spot on the roster."
e) Update size if a player was added to an unoccupied slot.
