Type Casting Help

[rhm54]

I believe this is a problem with Type casting but I am not sure. I have a LinkedList class that I have created which stores nodes of type Object. I am building a print queue that uses the list and stores an Object of type printdata in the nodes. This line of code here gives me the following error message:

Type mismatch: cannot convert from Object to PriorityQ.printdata

printdata temp = L1.getNode(0);

I assume that I need to type cast but I don't know how.

stores an Object of type printdata
Try declaring/adding this "printdata" as the type instead of Object.

Code:

LinkedList<printdata> list = ...

Hello rhm54

Try the following cast:

Code:

printdata temp = (printdata) L1.getNode(0);

I hope this does the trick.
