I have been asked to create a class with

Attributes

name, String
job, String
roles[], Array of Strings that identifies the roles
of people

Constructors:
• public Office(String job)
• public Office(String job, String
roles)

All Getters and setters for all the attributes

as well as;

public void addRoles(String roleName)

public void deleteRoles(String roleName)

Then I have been asked to create a test class to ensure its correctness

What I have tried:

I dont know where to start, especially with the arrays. I managed to get getters and setters methods, but stuck with the whole arrays and adding/removing methods

We dont; do your homework for you - you wouldn;t learn much, if anythign, if we did!

So ... time to start reading: Arrays (The Java™ Tutorials)[^]
Because java arrays are a fixed size, you will need to maintain an index of teh "next free element" for your roles array. You can add an item by putting it in that array index, and incrementing the index.
Deleting is more complex, you will need to find the role and it's index, then "shuffle" all the elements with a higher index down one, before reducing the "free element" index.

Sounds complicated? It isn't really. try it on paper, or with playing cards acting out the part of array elements, and you'll see how easy it really is!

We do not do your HomeWork.
HomeWork is not set to test your skills at begging other people to do your work, it is set to make you think and to help your teacher to check your understanding of the courses you have taken and also the problems you have at applying them.
Any failure of you will help your teacher spot your weaknesses and set remedial actions.
So, give it a try, reread your lessons and start working. If you are stuck on a specific problem, show your code and explain this exact problem, we might help.

As programmer, your job is to create algorithms that solve specific problems and you can't rely on someone else to eternally do it for you, so there is a time where you will have to learn how to. And the sooner, the better.
When you just ask for the solution, it is like trying to learn to drive a car by having someone else training.
Creating an algorithm is basically finding the maths and make necessary adaptation to fit your actual problem.
