    Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    I am having problems returning and using my subclass method returns... I am trying to print out the results but am getting just the space allocation only. Any help will greatly appreciated.

    Code:
    package contacts;
    
    
    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    
    
    public class Contacts {
    
       
        public static void main(String[] args) 
        {
             
            System.out.println("By enetering B for Business  or P for personal contact: ");
            
            System.out.println("Are you a Business Contact or Personal Contact?: ");
            
            //Storing the users input
            Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
            String cont = in.next();      
            
            if (cont.equals("P"))
            {
                System.out.println("Please enter: ");
                        
            }
            
            else if (cont.equals("B"))
            {
              
               
                 Business fno = new Business();
                 Business lno = new Business();
                 Business ado =  new Business();
                 Business pno = new Business();
                 Business emo = new Business();
                 Business jto = new Business();
                 Business orgo = new Business();

            }
            
            else
            {
                System.out.println("Please choose either B for Business Contact or "
                        + "P as a Personal Contact as you picked an invalid entry.");
               // return;
            }
        }

    Please fix the code tags in your post. They use the square brackets: [] not <>

    Re: Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    What are the "results" that you want printed?
    What does the program currently print out? Can you post the output and also show what you want printed?

    Re: Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    What I as trying to do is test my Business by printing the results from creating the objects in the main class........ What I need to do, but am confused on how to..is create an arraylist that I can store the users inputed values... Say for example, teacher contact and a student contact... Not to sure how to accomplish using inheritance and or polymorhism..

    create an arraylist that I can store the users inputed values

    What would be stored in the ArrayList? If there are several pieces of data that need to be kept together, then you should define a class to hold those pieces of data. Then in the program after the data that goes together is collected, create an instance of the new class passing its constructor the data it is to save and then save that instance of the class in the ArrayList.

    After all the data is collected, a loop could be used to go through the data saved in the ArrayList and to create the reports.

    Can you give a real fast example to help point me down the right direction? I am a little confused.

    I listed several steps, which step are you having problems with? Work on them one at a time.

    }

    I have commented out some stuff cause the errors, but am I getting on the track.

    What is that code supposed to do?

    When you get errors, don't ignore them, fix them. If you need help, copy the full text and paste it here.

    As soon as I can, I will rerun the code in the complier and give you the error..
    The code is supposed ask which kind of contact is, then prompt the the user to enter the information. from there the user should be able to display all contact information based on a selected contact.

    Re: Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    I have changed my code but I do not think that I am adding to the array.
    Code:
        if (cont.equals("P"))
            {
               
               System.out.println("Please enter your First Name");
            String fName = in.next();
            
            System.out.println("Please enter your Last Name");
            String lName = in.next();
            
           in.nextLine();
            System.out.println("Please enter your Address");
             String addre = in.nextLine();
            
             System.out.println("Please enter Phone Number");
            String phoneNum = in.next();
            
             System.out.println("Please enter your Email Address");
            String eMailAdd = in.next();
            
            System.out.println("Please enter your Date of Birth (xx/xx/xxxx");

                    + ", " + phoneNum + ", " + eMailAdd + ", " + dob);

    Re: Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    I have went to my Business Class (original idea) and tried to make the ArrayList work, but I still seems to be getting errors... I must be missing something????

    Code:
    package contacts;
    
    
    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    
    public class Contacts 
    {
    
        /**
         * @param args the command line arguments
         */
        public static void main(String[] args) 
        {
             //ArrayList<Business> busContact = new ArrayList<Business>();
            
            
            // Asks the user if they are a business contact or personal contact
            System.out.println("By enetering B for Business  or P for personal contact: ");
            
            System.out.println("Are you a Business Contact or Personal Contact?: ");
            
            //Storing the users input
            Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
            String cont = in.next();
            
            //System.out.print("You chose: "+ cont + " as your contact.");
            //String fName;
            if (cont.equals("P"))

        public static void disArrayList (ArrayList<Business> toBeDisp)
                {
                    for (int i =0; i < toBeDisp.size(); i++)
                    {
                        System.out.println(toBeDisp.get(i));
                    }
                }
    Thanks.
