returning a value from an arraylist

[xkross]

How can you return a value from an arraylist that contains class objects and the class object contains both string and numeric variables?

need the numeric data to do further calculations with.

public class Student
{
private String name;
private double Stbalance;


// -------------------------------------------------------
// Create a new item with the given attributes.
// -------------------------------------------------------
public Student (String ssName, double sbalance)
{
name = sName;
Stbalance = sbalance;
}
}


ArrayList Theclass = new ArrayList();

pupil = new Student(studentname,studentbalance);

Theclass.add(pupil);


How can is use the get method to return the balance into another variable?

Ok... i figured out the answer by reading the post displayed below.

Java Project Trouble: Searching one ArrayList with another

got help on line 14 of the post which reads.

Integer firstTemp = (Integer) first.get(i);

[fireball2008]

in this case is
Student stud = (Student) Theclass.get(i);
