Convert arrays into lists

[Richard2732]

At the moment im trying to create a programme that creates a list of rooms and i need to list the rooms. Also i think i need a static method to list all the rooms i have created outside of the class/constructor.

//the constructor sets the Building name and the number of arrays it holds (3 arrays)
//from its parameter list
public BuildingV02(String name, int number_of_Lecture_rooms, int number_of_Practical_rooms, int number_of_Tutorial_rooms)
{

building_name = Console.readString("Enter the building name:");


Lecture_count = Console.readInt("Enter the number of Lecture rooms that the building will have:");
Practical_count = Console.readInt("Enter the number of Practical rooms that the building will have:");
Tutorial_count = Console.readInt("Enter the number of Tutorial rooms that the building will have:");

System.out.println("The rooms are created in order of type, the Lecture rooms will " +
"be defined first followed by the Practical rooms and finally the Tutorial rooms");


//create the Lecture room objects in an array
for (int j = 0; j < Lecture_count; j++)
{
Lecture_rooms = new Lecture[Lecture_count];
Lecture_rooms[j] = new Lecture("number not set", 0, false, false, false, false ,false ,false);

}

//create the Practical room objects
for (int j = 0; j < Practical_count; j++)
{
Practical_rooms = new Practical[Practical_count];
Practical_rooms[j] = new Practical("number not set", 0, false, false, false, false ,false ,false);

}


//create the Tutorial room objects
for (int j = 0; j < Tutorial_count; j++)
{
Tutorial_rooms = new Tutorial[Tutorial_count];
Tutorial_rooms[j] = new Tutorial("number not set", 0, false, false, false, false ,false ,false);

}

}

I need to find a way either within this constructor or somewhere else to list all three arrays.

Apologies for any breach of etiquette this is my first post.

Thanks for any help you can give

public BuildingV02(String name, int number_of_Lecture_rooms, int number_of_Practical_rooms, int number_of_Tutorial_rooms)

Why are you passing those number_of_XXX_rooms? You don't use them at all in your constructor. Have a look at the Arrays class; it can give you a List view of your arrays.

kind regards,

Jos

I think that was left from an older version which was going to use them, i have removed them, thanks :).
