How To Check If ArrayList Of Object Contains A Certain String

Mar 25, 2015

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?

Populating ArrayList Object With Nested ArrayList Object

Jul 8, 2014

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.

How To Check To See If A Character Is In Arraylist

What I'm trying to do is say if the array contains the character a, then output: this letter is already in the array. I tried

System.out.println("This is already in the array!");
}

but it's not working. What should I use?

Check IsEnabled In ArrayList Of JTextFields And Get Text

Oct 9, 2014

I have an ArrayList of JTextFields in a CAMSetup1 class that contains a bunch of named JTextFields: Layer_textField_1, Layer_textField_2, Layer_textField_3, ... etc

I would like to check the .isEnabled status of a particular JTextField in that ArrayList from my main class by passing the name of the JTextField to a method in the CAMSetup1 class as a string

The peice of code calling the method from the main class is something like this:

if (CAMSetup1.getFieldEnabledStatus("Layer_textField_1") == true) {
data.writeToFile(CAMSetup1.getFieldText("Layer_textField_2") + " LAYER 2 LIST FILE
");
}

The method for checking the .isEnabled that I have so far is:

public boolean getFieldEnabledStatus(String textFieldname) {
boolean status = false;
//<need code here>
return status;
}

I also need getting the text:

public String getFieldText(String textFieldname) {
String filename = false;
//<need code here>
return filename;
}

How To Check If At Least One Number In A String Is Different From 0

Nov 18, 2014

I'm trying to come up with a method that would validate each turn a player makes. For a turn to be valid, it has to only contain numbers from 0 to 3(inclusive) and at least one digit must not be 0. Here is what I`ve come up with so far. For example, with "303" as the number and "101" as the turn, the turn would be valid and my method should return true, but it does not.

public static boolean turnIsValid (String number, String turn ){
boolean rep=false;
int pos1=0;
char min='0';
char max='3';
while(number.length()==turn.length()&&pos1<turn.length()){

Check How Many Times Char Is Used In The String

Apr 1, 2014

I tried to make a program that takes a string str, and char a and checks how many times the char is used in the string.

Example: the string Welcome and the letter e, is 2 times. so the program should print 2.

It compiles but when I run it and enter the information, i cannot get the printing line out.

Heres my code:

import java.util.Scanner;
class program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner user_input=new Scanner(System.in);
String str;
String b;
System.out.print("Please enter a word");

Check If A String Array Is Sorted?

Jul 8, 2014

I have an assignment and one of the prompts is to do a binary search on an array if and only if the array of Strings is sorted. The binary search part I think I have completed, but it is the sorted array check that is throwing everything off. If the array is already sorted, return true; else, return false.

// Check if the array is sorted
public static boolean isSorted(String[] arr) {
//for (int i = 0; i < arr.length-1; i++)
//{
//if (arr[i].compareTo(arr[i+1]) > 0)
//return false;
//}
String[] arrSorted = arr;
Arrays.sort(arrSorted);

Check If A String Is A Palindrome By Using Stacks

Oct 23, 2014

I'm supposed to use stacks (implemented with an array) to check to see if a string is a palindrome. I've finished all my classes and methods, but I'm getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when I try to run my demo program.Here are my classes:

public interface Stack {
// Creates an empty stack
public void initializeStack()
// Returns true if the stack is empty, returns false otherwise
public boolean isEmpty();
// The stack can never be full, so always return false
public boolean isFullStack();

How To Check A String For NON-Alphabetic Characters

Oct 2, 2014

I have to check a String input from the user in the form of firstName lastName (i.e. John Smith). I have to check for an exception called NonAlphabeticCharacterException that gets thrown if there is anything but a number in that string. This is what I have right now but should I create an array of char for the alphabet and then check the whole string for non alphabetic characters?

for(int i=0; i<name.length(); i++) {
if()){
throw new NonAlphabeticCharactersException("Non-alphabetic character found");
}
}

String Declaration - Check A / B Returns False

Jan 30, 2014

I have doubts in string declaration. As I know we can declare string in two ways:

1. String a=new String("Hello");
2. String b="Hello";

What is exact difference between them? Another thing is when I check (a==b) it retuns me false, but when I check a.equals(b) it returns me with true. Why So?

How To Check String For Exactly 2 Capital Letters And 1 Space

I started using Java a couple of days ago, If you haven't guessed I want to see if the user is typing a full name or not, but I'm actually not too concerned with any more complexity than I mentioned in the title. It's ok if an input like "GLba b" comes out positive.

// Based on the line nos, need logic to remove the contents from the file.
}

Below is the sample node entry, which we need to identify and delete (here nodename is WAS_CD1):

WAS_CD1:

Searching ArrayList By Object Variable?

Oct 7, 2014

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;

[Code]......

And the driver class

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

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.

What Does Creating ArrayList Object In A Constructor Mean

Mar 22, 2014

import java.util.ArrayList;
public class LectureRoom{
private String courseName;
private String roomNumber;
private String Lecturer;
private ArrayList <Student> studentList;

[Code] .....

Question:

Given the following BlueJ class diagram

Lecturer class (same with previous lab, no changes needed)
Student class (same with previous lab, no changes needed)

LectureRoom (changes occurs here)

1. LectureRoom has roomNumber (e.g. A301), courseName (e.g. Java), lecturer (a reference to a Lecturer object), and studentList (a reference to an ArrayList that stores Student object).
2. LectureRoom has a constructor that receives courseName, roomNumber, and Lecturer. The constructor then sets/assign the courseName, roomNumber and Lecturer. This constructor also creates the studentList arraylist object.
