    Question ArrayList getting a substring?

    I need help with a part of my code,
    How do you get a string in an ArrayList that has, for example, Bas in it?

    Baseball
    Base
    Basket
    Baskin
    so on so forth.

    What have you tried? Do you know how to determine if a given string has Bas in it?

    No, I have no idea. It's something new to me. I don't really use ArrayLists.

    Forget about ArrayLists for now. If I give you some random string, do you know how to determine if it contains the substring "bas"?

    First, check out the String class in the Java JDK documentation. There should be some methods there. If you are teaching yourself Java I suggest you look at the Oracle tutorials in my signature.

    If you don't know about something: read about it. Such simple logic.
