    Default Using calendar for a train time table

    import java.util.*;
    import java.util.Calendar;


    public class TrainTimeTable {


    // Static method to print the date time of a Calendar object, note the get methods
    public static void printCal(Calendar cal) {
    int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    int day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    int hour = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    int minute = cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
    int second = cal.get(Calendar.SECOND);

    System.out.printf("%4d/%02d/%02d %02d:%02d:%02d\n",
    year, month+1, day, hour, minute, second);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {



    //creating class objects
    Station s1 = new Station("Station: Vancouver",null, null, 0);
    Station s2 = new Station("Station: kamloops", null, null, 0);
    Station s3 = new Station("Station: Jasper", null, null, 0);
    Station s4 = new Station("Station: Edmonton", null, null, 0);
    Station s5 = new Station("Station: Saskatoon", null, null, 0);
    Station s6 = new Station("Station: Winnipeg", null, null, 0);
    Station s7 = new Station("Station: Sioux Lookout", null, null, 0);
    Station s8 = new Station("Station: Hornepayne", null, null, 0);
    Station s9 = new Station("Station: Capreol", null, null, 0);
    Station s10 = new Station("Station: Toronto", null, null, 0);
    //creating arraylist
    ArrayList schedule = new ArrayList();
    schedule.add(s1);
    schedule.add(s2);
    schedule.add(s3);
    schedule.add(s4);
    schedule.add(s5);
    schedule.add(s6);
    schedule.add(s7);
    schedule.add(s8);
    schedule.add(s9);
    schedule.add(s10);

    for( Station st : schedule ) {
    System.out.println( st );
    }

    // get an instance of Calendar, default is system data time
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    System.out.print("Current date time is: ");
    printCal(cal);



    // date time arithmetics
    cal.add(Calendar.MINUTE, 30);

    System.out.print("delay of station 10 by 30 min");
    printCal(cal);

    }//end main
    }//end class

    Station Arrival Departure Day
    Vancouver 20:30 1
    Kamloops 06:00 06:35 2
    Jasper 16:00 17:30 2
    Edmonton 23:00 23:59 2
    Saskatoon 08:00 08:25 3
    Winnipeg 20:45 22:30 3
    Sioux Lookout 05:02 05:42 4
    Hornepayne 15:35 16:10 4
    Capreol 00:18 00:48 5
    Toronto 09:30 5

    This is what the time table starts at, I need to pick a station for example Saskatoon then make the train get there 30 minutes later then the original time and since the train will be getting there 30 minutes later it will be getting to all the next stations winnipeg, sioux lookout, hornepayne, capreol and toronto 30 minutes later as well. The only way I know how to do this is by manually changing the times one by one. The question wants me to use a method like this public void delay (String station, int minute) which will add the delay to a station and all the ones after. After that is done i need to display the updated time table. How can I go about doing this??? I have been stuck on this for over a week and am lost. thank you in advance for any help

    I also have this code as well that I was using
    // fix a date time
    cal.set(2018, 01, 25, 00, 00, 00);
    System.out.print("In vancouver: ");
    printCal(cal);

    // fix a date time
    cal.set(2018, 01, 25, 20, 30, 00);
    System.out.print("Leaving Vancouver: ");
    printCal(cal);
    // fix a date time
    cal.set(2018, 01, 25, 6, 00, 00);
    System.out.print("Arriving in kamloops: ");
    printCal(cal);
    // fix a date time
    cal.set(2018, 01, 25, 6, 35, 00);
    System.out.print("leaving kamloops: ");
    printCal(cal);
    // fix a date time
    cal.set(2018, 01, 25, 16, 00, 00);
    System.out.print("arriving in jasper: ");
    printCal(cal);
    // fix a date time
    cal.set(2018, 01, 25, 17, 30, 00);
    System.out.print("leaving jasper: ");
    printCal(cal);
    // fix a date time

    printCal(cal);
    // fix a date time
    cal.set(2018, 01, 25, 5, 02, 00);
    System.out.print("arriving in sioux lookout: ");
    printCal(cal);
    // fix a date time

    // fix a date time
    cal.set(2018, 01, 25, 00, 00, 00);
    System.out.print("no departures from here: ");
    printCal(cal);

    Default Re: Using calendar for a train time table

    instead of null.
    Please copy the full text of the error message and paste it here so we can see where the null values were.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
