is there a way for me to do this

[drgnfire25]

I have 3 student types and I want to create one "stud" depending on which type is sent. Is there a way to do this?

private void addgrad(int t){
        if (type == 1){
            graduate stud = new graduate();
        }
        if (type ==2){
            partTime stud = new partTime();
         }
        if (type == 3){
            undgrad stud = new undgrad();
        }

Sure, but perhaps you want to make your class return Student, and then return one of the type you've created, either that or throw an exception if the int is wrong.

cool but how do i find out what type to return? it tells me its incompatible types
required java.util.list
found gradate

required java.util.list
found partTime

required java.util.list
found undgrad
