Comparing in an array with ints

[queenz68]

In our class, we were given some code in an assignment and asked what are the last four things to be printed out. I have tried to run this program and I know that one of the problems is that you can't use compareTo with ints, but I don't know what to use instead. I also don't understand why we were given incorrectly written code since debugging wasn't part of the assignment, but anyway, could someone please help me with this. Here's the first part that's written.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class IntList implements Serializable{
	
	private static int length;
	// Data fields
protected int[] values;
protected int numItems;
protected int currentPos;

{
	IntList intList = new IntList(15);}
	IntList(int maxItems){
	  // Constructor
	  // Post: Empty list is created with maxItems cells
	numItems = 0;
	values = new int[maxItems];
	currentPos = 0;
}
	 // Methods
	    public void add(int values){
	  // Pre:  The list is not full 
	  if (!isFull())
	  {
		  int index = numItems - 1;
	  }
	  }
	 // Post: item is in the list
	  public void printList(){
	  // Post: If the list is not empty, the elements are
	  //       printed on the screen; otherwise "The list
	  //       is empty" is printed on the screen
		  int  index;

		    for (index = 0; index < numItems; index++)
		       System.out.println(values[index]);
		   }
	  public int getLength(Scanner inFile){
	  // Post: return value is the number of items in the list
		 return numItems;
	  }
	  public boolean isEmpty(){
	  // Post: returns true if list is empty; false otherwise
	    	return(numItems ==0);
	    }
	  public boolean isFull(){
	  // Post: returns true if there is no more room in the
	  //       list; false otherwise
		    return(IntList.length == numItems);
	  }
	  public boolean contains(IntList item){
		  //returns true if item is in the list: false otherwise
	  int index = 0;
	  while (index < numItems && values[index].compareTo(item) != 0)//<----Problem because of int
		  index++;
	  return (index < numItems);
	  }
	  public void remove(int item){
		  //removes a value from the list. 
		  //The precondition is that the value is in the list.
		  int index = 0;
		  boolean found = false;
		  while (index < numItems && !found)
		  {
			  if (values[index].compareTo(item)==0) //<----Problem because of int
				  found = true;
			  else
				  index++;
		  }
		  if (found)
		  {
			  for (int count = index; count < numItems-1; count++)
				  values[count] = values[count+1];
			  numItems--;
		  }
		}
	public void getList(Scanner inFile) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		
	}
}

Here's the driver to run this..

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;         // Access file classes

public class ReadInts {

	
	public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
		
		// Data file for this test is on "real.dat"
	    Scanner inFile = new Scanner(new FileReader("int.txt"));
	    IntList  list;
	    
	   // Instantiate list with 15 cells
	    list = new IntList(15);
	    
	 // Input values into list
	    ((IntList) list).getLength(inFile);   //<-------error on this line
	    // Print values on System.out
	    list.printList();
	    inFile.close();      // Close the input file 
	}

}

I've also attached the txt file that the scanner reads from. I'd greatly appreciate your help. Thanks

If there were errors, please copy and paste the full text of the error messages here.
Can you explain what problems you are having?

with ints, but I don't know what to use

Use the ==, !=, etc operators to compare primitive values.

[queenz68]

The error message is "Line breakpoint: IntList - contains (IntList). and "Cannot invoke compareTo(IntList) on the primitive type int. Now that part I know, but how do you compare them. You said using== or!=, but would I just replace the compareTo part with and or not? Excuse my lack of java knowledge, I'm still very new to this.

Time to go back to chapter one in your text and read about boolean expressions.
