I'm trying to implement something at the moment and am having issues doing so properly


So what I'm trying to do here is add this

Code:

---

        public static Player getPlayer(String name) {
                for (int i = 0; i < Config.MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
                {
                        if (players[i] != null && players[i].playerName.equalsIgnoreCase(name))
                        {
                                return players[i];
                        }
                }

---

Into this

Code:

---

public static Player getPlayer(String name) {
                return Arrays.stream(players).filter(p -> p != null && p.playerName.equalsIgnoreCase(name)).findFirst().get();
               
        }

---

I've tried just flat out replacing it but eclipse doesn't like that and tells me I need to return the type of player, but I have no idea what that means, how can I implement these together without breaking my code?

I hate to ask for spoonfeeding me but could someone also explain the process here for making it work properly? I'm trying my best to kind of learn as I go
