    Default Modify class fields

    Hello,
    I am trying to remove values from lists.
        private List<Node> nodes;
        private List<Edge> edges;
     
     
        public List<Edge> getEdgeTo(Node x) {
            List<Edge> edges1 = new ArrayList<Edge>();
            for (int i = 0; i < edges.size(); i++) {
                if (edges.get(i).getFirstNode().getId() == x.getId() || edges.get(i).getSecondNode().getId() == x.getId()) {
                    edges1.add(edges.get(i));
                }
            }
            return edges1;
        }
     
        private void removeEdge(Node x) {
            List<Edge> edges2 = getEdgeTo(x);
            for (int i = 0; i < edges2.size(); i++) {
                edges.remove(i);
            }
     
        }
     
        private void removeNode(Node x) {
            for (int i = 0; i < nodes.size(); i++) {
                if(nodes.get(i).getId() == x.getId()){
                    nodes.remove(x);
                }
            }
     
        }

    But when i try to run method that uses this functions it works
    incomprehensible to me.
    public Map<Node, Node> findNextHospital(Node start) {
            Node current = start;
            Map<Node, Node> minDistances = new HashMap<Node, Node>();
            calculateShortestPathFromSource(current);
            Node nextHospital = getMinimumDistanceOfAll(current);
            System.out.println("Next hospital " +nextHospital.getId());
            minDistances.put(current, nextHospital);
            removeNode(current);
            removeEdge(current);
            System.out.println("Before");
            System.out.println("Nodes size "+ nodes.size() + "Edges size"+edges.size());
            for(int i=0;i<nodes.size();i++){
                System.out.println(nodes.get(i).getId());
            }
            for(int i=0;i<edges.size();i++){
                System.out.println(edges.get(i).getSecondNode().getId() + " " + edges.get(i).getFirstNode().getId());
            }
     
            current = nextHospital;
     
            System.out.println("current id "+ current.getId());
            calculateShortestPathFromSource(current);
            Node nextHospital1 = getMinimumDistanceOfAll(current);
            System.out.println("Next hospital "+nextHospital1.getId());
            minDistances.put(current, nextHospital1);
            removeNode(current);
            removeEdge(current);
            for(int i=0;i<nodes.size();i++){
                System.out.println(nodes.get(i).getId());
            }
            for(int i=0;i<edges.size();i++){
                System.out.println(edges.get(i).getSecondNode().getId() + " " + edges.get(i).getFirstNode().getId());
            }
            System.out.println("After");
            System.out.println(nodes.size());
            System.out.println(edges.size());
            return minDistances;
        }
    Result of running this function looks like this:
    Next hospital 3
    Before
    Nodes size 4Edges size10
    1
    2
    3
    4
    3 0
    2 1
    4 3
    0 1
    0 3
    3 1
    1 2
    1 4
    3 4
    4 2
    current id 3
    Next hospital 0
    1
    2
    4
    2 1
    0 1
    3 1
    1 4
    4 2
    After
    3
    5
    2

    Numbers of nodes and edges have decreased but list still containts some edges to Node with id 0 despite of fact that all should be removed. Also node with id 0 when I check if nodes list containts it returns boolean false value. But then "Next hospital 0" has id 0 but node with this id shouldn't exist.

    How can the code be compiled and executed for testing? It is missing some parts.

    What is the desired output for the program?

    i tried using edges.removeAll(edges2) instead of previous method and it works fine to my surprise now
