Thread: ArrayLinearList and its's sub class help

I have a class called ArrayLinearList

public class ArrayLinearList implements LinearList
{
   protected Object [] element; 
   protected int size;

I have made a subclass of ArrayLinearList

public class ArrayEventsList extends ArrayLinearList
{
}

A screen will come up asking the user what option they want.
For example:

Press 'A' to add an item to the list
Press 'b' to remove item from the list

When the user presses 'A' it calls my method addItem()

   public void addItem()
   {
     ArrayLinearList.add(item); //item is whatever string the user just entered from the scanner for example "mobile"
                                        //addItem is then supposed to add mobile to the list
   }

How would I go about adding an item the user enters on screen and add it to the ArrayLinkedList?

Thank you

How would I go about adding an item the user enters on screen and add it to the ArrayLinkedList?

How would you? Think about what steps are necessary and organize them into a plan. From there you can work on the code to make it happen. If you have trouble along the way ask more questions.

I'm still really confused I have been going over it for a while now.

Scanner scanner = Scanner(system.in)
System.out.println("Choose option!") //User presses option 1
option = scanner.next // option = 1

My system now knows that option 1 was was selected and option 1 is addItem() so that method is called.

Scanner scanner1 = new scanner(System.in)
System.out.println("what item do you want to store!") //User enters text for example "phone"
item.scanner.next // item = phone

//Now I want to add this to the array.

ArrayLinearList list = new ArrayLinearList();
ArrayShoppingList.add(list); //This doesn't work as itsays string entered and it wants and object!

Error messages are very specific in the wording and the information they contain. To get the best help with an error, post the message exactly as it is.

Also post the relevant code (inside code tags) along with your question and error message. Showing a couple lines here and there is not always enough code to find the problem.
