Can someone make a method to add this polynomials?
I am having hard time doing it. so i better remove the add method then i will ask to experts here.

-thanks

Why are you simply ignoring my suggestion of using a Map<Integer, Integer> for your polynomials in your other (identical) thread? Better stick to one thread for one problem.

kind regards,

sir sorry for that. but i really cant understand your suggestion.(im just new in java)
regarding posting another thread, because i didn't post all of my codes at the first post. so maybe there will be a conflict . but i really appreciated your suggestion the only problem is i dont know to initialize it.

Why don't you download and read the documentation for the Map interface and its implementing classes?

kind regards,
