I am working on a assignment. I am attempting to extend an existing class. I have unit tested my code. However, I have one method in my new class that has been giving me fits for the last couple of days. When I unit test my code, I am receiving NullPointerExceptions at a particular line in this code. I've rearranged the logic in this method many times without success. Will someone please take a look at my code below and provide me with some help or any suggestion. The method for which the exception is being thrown from is the addStatementBullet. This method is the last method in the code snippet below. Also, I've indicated, within the method, the statement that is throwing the exception. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
