Accessing Object Methods Within Arraylist
Oct 14, 2014
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
ArrayList<rand> selectedRand = new ArrayList<Rand>();
selectedRand.add(new Rand(in.nextLine()));
I have created the most minimal code for creating an array list. I was wondering what the basic syntax of accessing objects methods that are within an Array List. So if I was to trying and get a method such as [.returnValue,] how would this look within a Rand object that is declared in a Array List Since you cannot simply declare a new Rand object and say:
newRandObject.returnValue();
And you must go through the actual slotted portion of the array list. I have searched the web and my text book for an example however none are provided.

I've tried a couple ways to do it, and they don't work. I'm aiming for functionality like I got with the regular for loop, but from an enhanced for loop. Is this simply beyond the scope of an enhanced for loop, or am I just not getting the right syntax?
TestObject to1 = new TestObject("first", 11);
TestObject to2 = new TestObject("second", 12);
TestObject to3 = new TestObject("third", 13);
TestObject to4 = new TestObject("fourth", 14);
TestObject to5 = new TestObject();
List<TestObject> testList;
testList = new ArrayList<TestObject>();
[code]....
The TestObject class is simply an int and a String, with getters getInt and getString. It all works fine with the regular for loop.
edit: I should probably mention that I know what I have in the enhanced for loop now will only display the class name and the hash. I've tried adding the .getString and .getInt, and tried a few other ways to make it work. I just reverted to this because it compiles and runs

I have a project where I must sort a collection of songs by a number of fields: year, rank, title and artist. in the project, we must use certain methods and we cannot add others without getting marked down. Here are the specific requirements:
Sorting
The -sortBy option will cause the output to be sorted by a particular field. If this option is specified, the output should be ordered according to the field named. If there are ties, the tied songs should appear in same order in which they were in the input file. If no -sortBy option is specified, the output should maintain the order of the input file.
public void sortYear()
Order the songs in this collection by year (ascending).public void sortRank()
Order the songs in this collection by rank (ascending).public void sortArtist()
Order the songs in this collection lexicographically by artist (ascending, case-insensitive).public void sortTitle()
Order the songs in this collection lexicographically by title (ascending, case-insensitive).
Here is the relevant code:
SongCollection Class
Java Code: import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.*;
[code]....

I have stumbled onto a problem with ArrayLists (not sure if nested ArrayList objects would be a more accurate description) ....
As simply put as I can describe it, I have an Inventory class which creates an ArrayList of a Product superclass, which has two subclasses, PerishableProduct and ItemisedProduct.
By default, the program is meant to have a starting inventory, which is why I have added them in the constructor
public class Inventory {
private List<Product> products;
public Inventory() {
addProduct(new Product("Frying pan", 15, 20));
addProduct(new PerishableProduct("Apple", 5.8, 30, 7));
addProduct(new ItemisedProduct("Cereal", 5.8, 0));
// this is where I am having problems. Wanting to add
// objects to the ItemisedProduct's ArrayList for cereal.
}
Within the ItemisedProduct subclass is yet another ArrayList which is meant to hold serial numbers.
public class ItemisedProduct extends Product {
private ArrayList<String> serialNumbers = new ArrayList();
public ItemisedProduct(String name, double price, int qty) {
super(name, price, qty)
[Code] .....
My problem is that I do not know how to populate the serialNumbers ArrayList from the Inventory class' constructor. Because technically, quantity is defined by how many serial numbers are created.

What I want to do is this, this is my first class:
public class Footballer {
int goals;
String surname= "";
String team="";
private static int counter=0;
private int dres;
}
(this is just the header of the class... And this is my second class, which contains an ArrayList of the first class:
public class FootballTeam{
String teamname="";
String league="";
ArrayList<Footballer> f;
}
And this is my third class which contains an ArrayList of the second class:
public class FootballLeague{
String leaguename="";
ArrayList<FootballTeam> ft;
}
What I want to do is, know how many of footballers are there in the league? Meaning how many of "f"s are in the "ft"... I remember from C++ it was easy, you just did it something like this: ft.f[i]; (where i is a position), then you'd go through each of them, if you wanted to do something with them, or just ask for it's length, if you needed to know how much footballers are there.
I'm trying this method to get the size of the array in the 2nd class, from the 3rd class (containing an ArrayList of classes of 2nd class, but no luck:
int counter=0;
for(int i=0;i<this.ft.size();i++) {
counter+=this.ft[i].f.size();
}
I'm getting this: Array required, but ArrayList<FootballTeam> found ---

I'm a total newbie to Java, and until now all I've done was draw some shapes and flags. I'm struggling to understand the code I've been given. I need to access values stored in an ArrayList within another class. Here are the two classes Seat and Mandate:
package wtf2;
import java.util.*;
public class Seat {
public int index;
public String place;
public int electorate;
[Code] ....
The main class contains code that feeds data from 2 text files into Seat and Mandate. From there I managed to access the date in Seat (at the end):
package wtf2;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class CW2 {
public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {
[Code] ....
Now,instead of getting just the mp for Edinburgh South I need to get the vote values, compare them to each other, take the second biggest and display the associate party value. How to access data from that Array to get started at least.

I am trying to access each element and put them into a hashtable such as:

I am trying to create a method for my "ticketmachine" object that counts ticket objects in an arraylist of "ticket" objects with a specified field "route". The method works if i change the field type of the ticket class to public, however according to the homework task "route" of the ticket class needs to remain a private field.
Here is my code for the method.
public int countTickets(String route) //HAD TO CHANGE Ticket class FIELD "ROUTE" TO PUBLIC!!!!
{
int index = 0; //returns the number of Ticket objects in the machine with the specified "route".
int ticketCounter = 0;
while (index < tickets.size())
[Code] ....
Is my general approach to the problem wrong? also is there a way to access a private field?

I have a situation where I have 2 classes and an array of objects which are causing me trouble.
The object type is one I have created - it is made from a class which is neither of the 2 classes I previously mentioned.
The array is created and occupied in Class1 and the problem arises when I try to reference one of the element from Class2.
At first I forgot the the array would be local to Class1.main so I made the array a global variable using:
Java Code: public MyObjectType[] myArray; mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
Then I tried accessing an element (2) from Class2 using:
Java Code: Class1.myArray[2] mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
However I get errors saying that I can't access the static variable from a non-static context.
I understand a little bit about static and non-static objects/methods but don't know how to fix this. Do I need to include "static" in the array declaration?

I'm not new to java but i'm not able to solve the following issue: I have a class
public class Localizzazioni implements java.io.Serializable {
private <complexType> id;
public getId().......
public setId().....
The complexType is a class defined in the code somewhere. Now I want to access it in another class I have
Set localizzazioni = new HashSet(0);
localizzazioni=opere.getOiLocalizzazioneOperas(); -- this object give an object of tyoe HashSet
for(Object object : localizzazioni) {
object.get......... // i cannot use any method defined in the class Localizzazioni
}
Why I cannot write inside the for object.getId() and using it?? In other word how i can access the element contained in the object?? the object is an iterator of type Localizzazioni . The class Localizzazioni has some method but i cannot use them? why ....

I got a strange (!?) behavior using an FXML annotated object ...
Consider the following:
You got an app with FXML build UI.
There is a button called connectB which is @FXML annotated...
In the initialize method of my app I disable this button.
After the startup of my app I want to connect to a DB ...
Therefore I use an Task<Void>
I put everything together in one class ( the main application class )
Here is the code...
public class MainApp extends Application implements Initializable{
// ... several other objects
@FXML
private Button connectB;
@Override
public void initialize( URL location, ResourceBundle resources ) {
connectB.setDisable( true );
[Code] .....
The connectB is not null in the initialize method but later in the task class ....

I have this piece of code I wrote a while ago to test something. The issue is accessing a private field of Base class in Base but of a Derived object.
Here is the code:
class Base
{
private int x;
public int getX()
[Code]....
The commented code does not work but casting d to Base does.
Forgot to mention that the compilation error is that x has private access in Base.

I'm new to object oriented programming, my previous experiences have been in C. I was given an assignment to implement an operation to transform a list of data by creating a partitioning algoritm.
import java.util.*;
public class Partition {
public static void partitionWithSetGet ( List<String> theCollectionOfData ) {
int i, j;
while(i <= j){
int Result = theCollectionOfData.get(i).compareTo(pivot);
int Result = theCollectionOfData.get(j).compareTo(pivot);

I want to grasp the this concept in greater detail, then I can use the Java API to figure out the syntax!

I'm creating a card game assignment... so i have an arraylist called cards that has 20 cards and every card has contains 2 objects, suit and the point Value.
I shuffled the deck, now i want to add half of it to player 1 and the rest of the cards goes to the bot or computer.
how can i add the cards to the player one arraylist and have all the information of the cards?
here is my Deck class code :-
public class Deck {
private ArrayList cards;
private int size;
private ArrayList player1;
private ArrayList bot;
[code]....
the problem i have is this one doesn't work
size = cards.size() / 2;
for (int i = 0; i < size - 1; i++) {
player1.add(cards.get(i));
}
for (int s = size; s < cards.size() - 1; s++) {
bot.add(cards.get(s));
}

We know that all classes in Java extend the Object class. But methods in Object class are declared as public.I think if they were declared as protected, then also there wont have been any issue. So, what is the reason behind making them as public?

So I'm Half way done with this assignment and all I need to is edit and sort my directory. What I've been trying to do as of now is edit my directory. I've tried to use the set function in the Array List, Iterator List etc but I just don't know how implement them mainly because I keep thinking "how can check which variable in the directory the user wants to change(Name, cost etc etc)?".

I'm almost finished my Bank Account exercise and I found myself stuck at the last part. Its asking me to add a method that asks the user to input the name of the account into which they want to deposit money, then search the ArrayList for that account. If it is found, the user is asked how much money they wish to deposit.
I already have my deposit method sorted so basically what I need is just searching through the ArrayList by the name variable. I assume its don't by iterating through with some form of for loop.Heres what I have:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class BankAccount {
private double balance;
private String name;
public BankAccount(double balance, String name){
this.balance = balance;

import java.util.Scanner;
public class BankDriver {
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
ArrayList<BankAccount> list;

I have a number of objects stored in an ArrayList called inventory. Let's say I have two objects inside.
inventory.add(new Lamborghini(2011, "aventador", 411.3, false));
inventory.add(new Lamborghini(2012, "sesto elemento", 512.3, true));
I am making a function to search through the whole inventory to see if any of the Lamborghini object has a certain model name such as aventador, diablo, etc....
This is what I have but I figured there's a big mistake when I make it true / false; it's making it going through the list and what's return is the last one instead of saying there's such match in the whole list or not.
public boolean hasCarModel(String modelName){
boolean exist = false;
for (Lamborghini lambo : inventory){
String carModelName = lambo.getModelName();
if(carModelName.equalsIgnoreCase(modelName)){
[Code] ....
I figured if I add break; under exist = true; it'll work because as soon as it found one match then it'll turn to true and break out the loop but I don't think this is the best way to do it right?
