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

    The arraylist that holds Business class objects should not be inside of the Business class. The arraylist needs to be in a class where the methods that create Business class objects can get to it so that the Business class objects can be saved in the arraylist.

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

    Hello Norm... I have most of the code know work, thanks for all the guidance...

    I do have 2 small issues still:
    1) When I select the personal contact to enter, I can't go back and enter another business
    2) If I select to see just 1 contact, I will see both..

    Can you look and point me to where the issue might lay.

    Code:
    package contacts2;
    
    //import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Scanner;
    //import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.io.File;
    //import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
    import java.io.FileWriter;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    import java.util.logging.Level;
    import java.util.logging.Logger;
    import java.util.*;
    //import java.io.*;
    //import java.util.List;
    
    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.FileReader;

    }
    I can show the out put if needed.

    There should be only one loop enclosing the asking of user choice and the handling of his choice, not a loop for handling each choice.

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

    Thanks for the advice on the adding of contact.... I am still having a problem showing my contacts.... When I select to show just the business contacts... the business and personal show up, when I select to show just the personal I have a double showing of personal....The selection to show both contacts works as described.

    Code:
    package contacts2;
    
    //import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Scanner;
    //import java.util.ArrayList;

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

    Something like this:
    begin loop
    ask question
    get response
    do what was requested << this would be handled by switch or chain of if/else if statements
    end loop

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

    I started off with a "while(enter = 3)" and carried to if/else statements, but I still get the same result... Am I missing something vital from your last response.


    Code:

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

    My idea was to have ONE while loop. That was what I meant when I said:

    begin loop

    that was THE ONE while loop

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

    Now I get a continues loop that wont exit after I select which contact that I want to see goes straight to (enter == 4).... I now don't get my contacts, any of them.

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

    First thing I see is that the asking of the question and the reading of the response are before the while loop not INSIDE the loop.

    The next thing is that the question is asked in many places NOT ONCE at the beginning of the loop.

    See my post#35

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

    Did you miss my last post? I still see the question and answer OUTSIDE the loop.
    And the question/answer groups are in more than one place instead of in ONE PLACE at the top of the loop. See post#35

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

    I might be new, but would I want to ask which contact to show at the same time I ask which contact they would like to enter? If I am understanding you correctly, I should put this code:

    Code:
    System.out.println("Press 1 to show the Business Cotact\n"
                          + "Press 2 to show the Personal Conatct\n"
                          + "Press 3 to show both contacts.");
                  int showCont = in.nextInt();
    above the while loop found at the top..... will this not actually ask for this information before I enter in any information into my txt files?

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

    Are you asking about:
    Where the question should be asked
    vs what question to ask?

    What question to ask and what responses to allow depend on the state of the data. Boolean variables can be used to keep track of the state of the data.

    I'd rather ask the question and get the response in one place instead of many places.

    I just don't want to ask which contacts you want to be displayed before you enter in any contacts...

    Order of Operation:
    1) ask user to enter in contacts, which can be in any order and switch back and forth between personal and business
    2) ask user which (if any) contact they want displayed (personal, business, or both)
    3) display contacts in required

    Ok what is the problem coding that?
    Put 1) inside a loop that continues until ALL contracts are entered
    Then do 2)
