Inventory Part 4 - Almost done!!!

Hi there.

So I am so close to finished on this part, but I am having an issue. Here is the code:

The part that I made in bold font is the problem. I am trying to get the program to display the bluList sorted in alphabetical order. I have the sorting all coded out, but now I am unsure what to put in the "for" loop since "length" does not work.

Check out the API for the List class. There should be a method in there that is similar to length for arrays.
List (Java Platform SE 6)

[Eranga]

Did you read the API?

size() ???

[ladykrimson]

Thank you. Here was the problem:

When I used size, I would get errors for each of the items.

              for (int i = 0; i < bluList.size(); i++)
            {

                 sOutPut += String.format(" %d\t%18s\t%d\t $%.2f\t$%.2f\t$%.2f\t%s\n", [B][COLOR="Red"]bluList[/COLOR][/B](i).dvdItem, [B][COLOR="Red"]bluList[/COLOR][/B](i).getDvdTitle(),  [B][COLOR="Red"]bluList[/COLOR][/B](i).getDvdStock(), [B][COLOR="Red"]bluList[/COLOR][/B](i).getDvdPrice(), [B][COLOR="Red"]bluList[/COLOR][/B](i).value(), [B][COLOR="Red"]bluList[/COLOR][/B](i).getRestockFee(), [B][COLOR="Red"]bluList[/COLOR][/B](i).getCategory());

                 System.out.printf(" %d\t%18s\t%d\t $%.2f\t$%.2f\t$%.2f\t%s\n", blu[i].dvdItem, blu[i].getDvdTitle(),  blu[i].getDvdStock(), blu[i].getDvdPrice(),  blu[i].value(), blu[i].getRestockFee(), blu[i].getCategory());
                 System.out.println(); // prints a blank line
            }

I had to insert the "get" between each one.

              for (int i = 0; i < bluList.size(); i++)
            {
                 sOutPut += String.format(" %d\t%18s\t%d\t $%.2f\t$%.2f\t$%.2f\t%s\n", bluList.get(i).dvdItem, bluList.get(i).getDvdTitle(),  bluList.get(i).getDvdStock(), bluList.get(i).getDvdPrice(), bluList.get(i).value(), bluList.get(i).getRestockFee(), bluList.get(i).getCategory());

                 System.out.printf(" %d\t%18s\t%d\t $%.2f\t$%.2f\t$%.2f\t%s\n", blu[i].dvdItem, blu[i].getDvdTitle(),  blu[i].getDvdStock(), blu[i].getDvdPrice(),  blu[i].value(), blu[i].getRestockFee(), blu[i].getCategory());
                 System.out.println(); // prints a blank line
            }

I am having one more minor issue. I specifically coded the output so that each of the titles would be 18 character spaces long. It does this for the first four items, but the last two items won't display that way.

Any ideas why?
