Compile Trouble

[adelgado0723]

netbeans says that it won't compile because of the GetData commands. Please help tell me why it won't run.

Code:

public class Student {

    private String id,  firstname,  lastname;

    Student(String i, String f, String l) {
        id = i;
        firstname = f;
        lastname = l;
    }

    String getid() {
        return id;
    }

    String getfirstname() {
        return firstname;
    }

    String getlastname() {
        return lastname;
    }
}

Code:

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class Admissions {

    Student student;
    ArrayList<Student> list;
    int index;
    boolean found;
//2a
    Admissions() {
        list = new ArrayList<Student>();
    }
//2b
    void add(Student s) {
        list.add(s);
    }
//2c
    int size() {
        return list.size();
    }
//2d
    boolean empty() {
        return list.isEmpty();
    }

    Student get(int i) {
        return list.get(i);
    }

    //2e
    void search(String id) {
        int i = 0;
        int length = list.size();
        while (i < length && !found) {
            student = list.get(i);
            if (student.getid().equalsIgnoreCase(id)) {
                found = true;
            } else {
                i++;
            }
        }
        index = i;
    }
//2f 
    Student remove(int i) {
        return list.remove(i);
    }

    int getIndex() {
        return index;
    }

    Student getStudent() {
        return student;
    }

    boolean inList() {
        return found;
    }

    ArrayList getList() {
        return list;
    }
}

Can you post the reported exceptions?

Be specific....

First of all what is Getdata and where is this thing come from,

[bobleny]

Are there any more classes? With what you gave us, I see 5 error in Registration; all pertaining to the GetData object.

I don't know what it is that you are trying to do, but I do know, that you are calling on an object, GetData, that doesn't exist. So, you will have to create it.

If your simply trying to ask the user to enter in the last name, then you might try:

Code:

String last = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter Lastname");

Based on the information you provided, that is the best answer I can give you.

Good luck!

^If done that way, how would you alternate the code "int option = GetData.getInt(menu);" ?

[bobleny]

Simple, you use the Integer.parseInt() method.

Code:

String stroption = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, menu, "Choose an Option:", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);
int option = Integer.parseInt(stroption);

If you really want to get fancy to avoid any error, use a try catch statement:

Code:

String stroption = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, menu, "Choose an Option:", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);
int option;
try
{
    option = Integer.parseInt(stroption);

}
catch(Exception E)
{
    option = 0;
}

And life is good....
