Thread: Array List; How to pass objects into another arraylist

I'm supposed to compare objects within a list to a given value and then pass them to another list if the values tally. But the code does not compile; javac says cannot find symbol

public class Librarian {
private ArrayList<Book> bookList;

public Librarian () {
bookList = new ArrayList<Book>();
}

public ArrayList<Book> findBooksWrittenBy(ArrayList<Book> inputList, String author) {
ArrayList<Book> authorList = new ArrayList<Book>();

for (int position = 0 ; position < inputList.size() ; position++ ) {
Book temp = inputList.get(position);
String bkAuthor = temp.getAuthor();
if (bkAuthor.equalsIgnoreCase(author)) {
authorList.add(temp);
}
}
return authorList;
}


}

there's the errors

1. Enclose the code in the code tags.
2. Format code properly, use some editor.
3. Is this your whole code?????
If yes, i will recommend you to read tutorials. If no, i will suggest to read forum rules.

Thanks
