why do i get nullpointerexception in java

[jenny_luarez]

this is where my main is:
public class MyStringHashTableDemo{
public static void main(String[] args){


MyStringHashTable arrayko = new MyStringHashTable(5);

arrayko.insert("epal");
arrayko.insert("array");
arrayko.insert("leithold");
arrayko.insert("jenny");
arrayko.insert("ewan");
System.exit(0);
}
}





//this is my class where i get the message about nullpointerexception:

public class MyStringHashTable{

String[] array;
int arraysize;
MyStringHashTable(){
new MyStringHashTable();
}

MyStringHashTable(int size){
arraysize = size;
array = new String[arraysize];
}

void insert(String s){
int elementIndex;
elementIndex = s.hashCode() % arraysize;

while(array[elementIndex] != null){
arraysize = arraysize*2;
elementIndex = s.hashCode() % arraysize;
array = newPositionArray(arraysize);
}
array[elementIndex] = s;
System.out.println("array[" + elementIndex + "]: " + array[elementIndex]);
System.out.println("It has a hash code: " + array[elementIndex].hashCode());
System.out.println();
}

String[] newPositionArray(int arsize){
int temp;
String[] tempArray = new String[arsize];
int i;

for(i=0; i<tempArray.length; i++){
temp = array.hashCode() % arsize;
tempArray[temp] = array;
}
return tempArray;
}

}





//this code is for collison handling in java.. but i keep getting a nullPointerException..

//this is the output:

array[3]: epal
It has a hash code: 3119638
