So I have a school assignment that I am stuck on and would like some guidance on how to approach it. The task is:
The purpose of this lab is to manipulate an ArrayList of integers. The assignment is to write a program that: 1. Declares an ArrayList of integers. 2. Implements the following methods: A method that displays a menu. The menu should be displayed after each completed menu selection. 1. Add elements 2. Add an element at a specific index 3. Remove an element at specific index 4. Show min, max, sum and average 5. Search 6. Exit
So I already have the code here
import java.util.Scanner; public class ArrayList { static int count; static Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in); public static void main() { int item=0; ArrayList numArray = new ArrayList(); count=0; while (item !=6) { menu(); item=kb.nextInt(); if (item==1) addElements(numArray); //else if (item==2) //printArray(numArray); } System.out.println("Goodby!"); } public static void menu() { System.out.println("1. Add Elements"); System.out.println("2. Add an element at a specific index"); System.out.println("3. Remove an element at a specific index"); System.out.println("4. Show min, max, sum and average"); System.out.println("5. Search"); System.out.println("6. Exit"); System.out.print(": "); } public static void addElements(ArrayList arr) { count=0; int num; System.out.print("Enter integer values to fill the arrayList -vevalue to stop: "); do { num = kb.nextInt(); if (num >=0) { arr.add(count); count++; } } while (num > 0); } So basically when you input 1 in the console, itll prompt you to add integers to the empty arraylist I established in the beginning. Im just having trouble with the first part alone with the syntax on how to get the user input to be added to the array list.
arr.add(count);seems to be the problem here. You are just adding the 'count' variable to your array list, while the desire is to add the number you took from the user,num = kb.nextInt();to your array list.
