Stuck on an error

[Peril]

	public int findIndex(Competition x)
	{
	 int count = 0;
	 	for(CompetitionNode current = head; current != null; current = current.next)
		{
	
          	if (current.c.getCompetitionName().compareTo(x) == 0) 
          	{
               return count;
          	}
     	count ++;
	 	}
	}

:confused: I get the following error: java:210: compareTo(java.lang.String) in java.lang.String cannot be applied to (Competition)

Nevermind, solved.

I have to do some guessing here, because you've only shared a bit of your code. (But thank you for using CODE tags properly!)

I take it the "c" member variable of a CompetitionNode object is of type Competition? In any case, its getCompetitionName() method returns a String (which seems reasonable). You are trying to compare that String to a Competition named x. Maybe you mean to do this?

          	if (current.c.getCompetitionName().compareTo(x.getCompetitionName()) == 0)

And maybe this would be even more straightforward for you?

          	if (current.c.getCompetitionName().equals(x.getCompetitionName()))

Nevermind, solved.

Glad you found it.
