I need help using LinkedList :) Thanks (homework)

[jumoo]

private LinkedList<Account> friends = new LinkedList<Account>();

public Account(int id, String name, String dob, String word)
    {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.dob = dob;
        password = new Password(word);
    }

public LinkedList<Account> getFriendList()
    {
        return friends;
    }

The scenario is I wanted to get only the name from the friend list, not the id, dob, and password.

Can someone help me how do I configure my getFriendList() method?

Cheers.

I'm not sure of your question. What is stopping you from retrieving the name? The idea of this is to use a data structure to hold a series of Account objects. You can traverse the list, and then use selectors to extract the proper information.

Oh I mean, I only wanted to select the name and display it. how do you use selector? can you give me an example?
