Problem with vectors in java

[toby]

Hi, Here's my problem, I want to use vectors, in this random example i have created an object car, with a firstname of fred (told you it was random).
My question is how can i put in the System.out.println statement the code to get fred printed? I want to get the name of the car via the vector somehow. Not just car.firstName, anyone know how i would do it? I thought it would be vector.firstname.get(1) but doesn't work.

Code:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class veh{

public static void main(String[] args) {
Contact temp = new Contact();
Vector vector = new Vector();
Contact car = new Contact();
car.firstName = "fred";
vector.addElement(car);
System.out.println(?????);

}
}

Thanks

You need to know the index position of the element in the Vector.

Code:

System.out.println((String) vector.get(index));

Since you use addElement to add the element in the Vector, it adds it at the end of the Vector.
You can then determine the index by getting the size of the vector.

Code:

System.out.println((String) vector.get(vector.size()-1));
