hi, ya i changed it alot, but now it compiles but at runtime when the number is entered it just looks as if its waiting for more input except typing doesn't work and i have to close command prompt..i used arraylist and i ferget why i used bigdecimals... but ya here is the code:

Code:

	
public int[] getFactors(int number) {    // number is the num to get the factors from
		ArrayList fList = new ArrayList(2);  // arraylist to use
		int[] factors;						 // array to put the arraylist in
		int j = 1;							 // counter no. 1 (sumwhere else in the program uses i)
		Integer k;							 // counter no. 1 (object form so i can put it in the arraylist)
		int l = 0;							 // counter no. 2
		while ( j <= number ) {				 // while the factor test for true number is less or equal to the number
			k = new Integer(j);				 // counter 1 object is same as int counter
			if ( number % j == 0 ) {         // if its a factor
				fList.ensureCapacity(j);	 // make loads of room
				if ( fList.contains(k) ) {	 // if it already has it
					j++;					 // move on
				}
				else {						 // if not,
					fList.add(k);			 // add the object(Integer) count(dont know why i cant put an int into it)
					j++;					 // increase counter
				}
			}
			else {							 // if it isn't a factor
				j++;						 // move on
			}
			fList.trimToSize();				 // trim the size of the list
		}
		factors = new int[fList.size()];	 // factors = enough room for the list
		while ( l < fList.size() ) {		 // while counter no.2 is less then size (not <= cause size starts 1 but index starts 0
			factors[l] = Integer.parseInt(fList.get(l).toString()); // current factor array index is parsedint of the list object toString
		}
		return factors;						 // return the factors
	} // end of getFactors method

the end part ( weird parseint of tostring of object of list thing) was built up cause i kept getting compiler errors.. when it was just current factor index = curent list index i got expected int got object compile error. when i changed all ints to integers and once all to objects i got errors.. when i had parseint it doesn't have a method to parseint objects, so i toString'ed them. i'm pretty confused with this, its all an annoying series of variable Type errors. If you can point me to the right direction, please do.
