Stuck on replacing array - java

I've used to site for many commands I had trouble using and it was very helpful. I thought you guys might be able to help me out and help me understand what i'm doing wrong here. The "Rabbit"/"R" is moving as I wanted, however the old position is not resetting its old value from the copied array. Logic for winning and losing aren't debugged, yet so ignore that.
EDIT*
I can't shorten the code due to the relations between the array has with the program. The precise description for the error is when the "Rabbit"/"R" moves from (Using representative values) GridCompOne[5][5] to GridCompOne[4][5] going "up" on the "grid" I have a second array called GridCompTwo which is a copied version of the first grid when the random values were generated. What is supposed to happen is the Rabbit's value, which = 4 is supposed to replace GridCompOne[4][5] to = 4 and the old position GridCompOne[5][5] is supposed to be replaced with GridCompTwo[5][5] old value being 3 which is supposed to represent the ground value I have assigned. But the replacing of the value doesn't seem to work.

The root cause for the problem is System.arraycopy. As of my understanding it is copying reference instead of values (may be i am wrong).
i changed to manual copy then it is working fine up to the logic of replacing array. Please check below modified code with my comments

Invalid array display

Good day, I have the following assignment:
https://prnt.sc/113pc7j
My problem is the first assignment of the fourth item. I prescribed filling the array with random objects, however, when I want to display this array on the screen, I get different results all the time.
My code:
The interface itself:
interface VehicleAndWorkers
{
String cars();
}
First class that implements the interface:
public class TaxiStation implements VehicleAndWorkers{
TrucksLogistic trucks = new TrucksLogistic();
public String[] cars = {"KIA", "Hyundai", "Volkswagen", "Lada", "Datsun", "Skoda"};
int quantCars = 150;
int workers = 300;
public String cars() {
System.out.println("List of models of our taxi fleet: ");
for (int i = 0; i < cars.length; i++) {
System.out.println(cars[i]);
}
return null;
}
#Override
public boolean equals(Object obj)
{
return trucks.quantTrucks == this.quantCars;
}
#Override
public int hashCode() {
return Objects.hash(trucks, quantCars);
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return cars();
}
}
Second class that implements the interface:
public class TrucksLogistic implements VehicleAndWorkers {
String[] trucks = {"Kenworth W900", "Volvo FH16", "Scania R730", "MAN TGS 18.400", "МАЗ 6430",
"КАМАЗ-5490 НЕО 2"};
int quantTrucks = 40;
int workers = 100;
public String cars()
{
System.out.println("Our company model list: ");
for (int i = 0; i < trucks.length; i++)
{
System.out.println(trucks[i]);
}
System.out.println("Amount of workers: " + workers);
System.out.println("Number of trucks: " + quantTrucks);
System.out.println("The ratio of the number of truck models to the number of trucks: " +
Math.round(trucks.length / quantTrucks));
return null;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return cars();
}
}
The class in which I tried to implement working with ArrayList (filling, displaying, etc.):
public class InterfaceArray {
ArrayList<VehicleAndWorkers> array = new ArrayList<>();
public void setArray() {
int randomLength = (int) Math.floor(random() * 10);
for (int i = 0; i < randomLength; i++) {

int maxRandomNum = 2;
int diffRandomNum = maxRandomNum - minRandomNum;
int randomNum = random.nextInt(diffRandomNum + 1) + minRandomNum;
if (randomNum == 1) {
array.add(new TrucksLogistic() {
#Override
public String cars() {
int num = (int) Math.floor(random() * trucks.length);
quantTrucks = (int) Math.floor(random() * 100);
Random random = new Random();
int minWorkers = quantTrucks;
int maxWorkers = 200;
int diffWorkers = maxWorkers - minWorkers;
workers = random.nextInt(diffWorkers + 1);
workers += minWorkers;
System.out.println("Number of trucks: " + quantTrucks);
System.out.println("Amount of workers: " + workers);
System.out.println("Average number of workers per truck: " + Math.round(workers /
quantTrucks));
return "Priority truck brand/model: " + trucks[num];
}
});

Well, the class in which the methods from the previous class are applied:
public class ConsoleInterface {
void doChoice()
{
InterfaceArray interfaceArray = new InterfaceArray();
printOptions();
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
int choice = scan.nextInt();
while (choice >= 0 && choice < 5) {
if (choice == 0) {
interfaceArray.setArray();
interfaceArray.getArray();
printOptions();
choice = scan.nextInt();
}
else if (choice == 1) {
interfaceArray.setArray();
printOptions();
choice = scan.nextInt();
}
else if (choice == 2) {
interfaceArray.sameElements();
printOptions();
choice = scan.nextInt();
}
else if (choice == 3) {
interfaceArray.sameTypeElements();
printOptions();
choice = scan.nextInt();
}
else if (choice == 4) {
interfaceArray.getArray();
printOptions();
choice = scan.nextInt();
}
}
}
void printOptions()
{
System.out.println("Choose an action: \n");
System.out.println("0 - Fill the array with random elements and display it on the screen. \n");
System.out.println("1 - Fill the array with random elements. \n");
System.out.println("2 - Find objects in the array,\n" +
" whose functional method returns the same result. \n");
System.out.println("3 - Split the original array into two arrays, \n" +
" which will store the same type of elements. \n");
System.out.println("4 - Display the array(-s) to the screen.\n");
System.out.println("Any key - Exit the application.\n");
}
}
An example of how the program works:
I fill the array and immediately output it to the console: https://prnt.sc/113qmkr
I get the result:
https://prnt.sc/113qurt
https://prnt.sc/113qvaq
I try again to display all the objects in the array: https://prnt.sc/113qvz4
And... I get completely different results:
https://prnt.sc/113qwhx
https://prnt.sc/113qwps
Moreover, as you may have noticed, the length of the array is preserved, but the objects themselves are already different.
Honestly, I don't know what the problem might be, the teacher at the university also threw up his hands, so I will be glad to any criticism, comments and suggestions. Thank you in advance.

How can I assign the driver to UNO DiscardPile.java?

I'm creating an UNO project and am a bit confused about how to assign the drivers to my DiscardPile class.
Thank you in advance for any answers you may give.
Sincerely,
Jayda M
I've asked my fellow students for assistance and have scoured the internet for anything that could be helpful with no luck. My professor isn't helpful at all haha
This is the full code for the Driver.java file. If you need me to give you any of the others I have no problem doing so.

There are errors are on these lines of code: 46, 50, 57, 58, 60, 106 and 111. Most of them are saying they're undefined, and I'm unsure of where to do so amongst my files. I'm expecting the Driver to run the game as a whole, so because it's gone wack I can't run the build properly. If you need more information to work with, I'll gladly give it to you!
EDIT:
The lines and/or words where the errors are taking place have asterisks around them
The error descriptions with their corresponding lines
The printed console error after running Driver. Hopefully this works for the Reproducible Example required :)
Here is your Driver class with compilation problems fixed. I suggest you compare it with your current code in order to see what I changed.
I also needed to add method replenish() in class unoDeck because it didn't exist and is called from class Driver. Right now that method does nothing. As I said, I only added it in order to fix the compilation error.

./Player.java:59: error: unexpected type

./Player.java:68: error: unexpected type
getHitPoints() -= enemyATK;
I know this is wrong, but what is the reason behind this? Also I have
public void increaseHitPoints(){
}
public void decreaseHitPoints(){
}
these two class in my character class, I don't how to code to make this work.
getHitPoints() is a method that returns a value. You can't assign anything to that expression, and the -= operator performs both subtraction and assignment.
Instead of
getHitPoints() -= playerATK;
write
setHitPoints (getHitPoints() - playerATK);
or
decreaseHitPointsBy (playerATK); // this approach would require a corresponding
// increaseHitPointsBy (value) method

For some reason that I haven't been able to figure out, the program I've been working on for a while now isn't running. This is the error message I've been getting:
All I did between the time it was working and now was add another class, but even after deleting it the error message is still here.

There have been similar questions asked here before, but none of them helped and others were very unclear. A good and coherent answer would be much appreciated, thanks.
In Java, the main method signature is public static void main(String[] args), however in your code you are using public static int main(String[] args).
Java main methods are declared like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
...
}
More information can be found at Can a main method in Java return something?
You can't change the return type of main. This,
public static int main(String[] args)
must be one of (per this worthwhile Wikipedia article on Entry point)
public static void main(String[] args)
public static void main(String... args)
public static void main(String args[])
All of which are void, if you need to set a UNIX style return type, you can use System.exit(int); to quote the Javadoc that
Terminates the currently running Java Virtual Machine. The argument serves as a status code; by convention, a nonzero status code indicates abnormal termination.
