Re: [SOLVED] How to output a range of values from arraylist and user input
Some comments:
The code does not check the user's input for validity. EG in range and in order
This statement does a lot of extra work:
It reads an int, creates an Integer to hold that int and then extras that int to assign it to a variable.startIndex = Integer.valueOf(inputReader.nextInt());
Why not just assign the int to the variable"
startIndex = inputReader.nextInt();
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

What do you mean by the code does not check the user's input for validity?Originally Posted by Norm
You have a point about assigning an int to a variable only, I am used to that. I try to understand my coding more often because I sometimes just copy things and forget their meaning.
Re: [SOLVED] How to output a range of values from arraylist and user input
What if user enters From/To as -1 9999code does not check the user's input for validity?
or 4 1
Should the program detect those invalid inputs and give an error message? Or just let the code throw an exception?
Another point - the program should prompt the user for the values to load into the array with comment about ending the input with -1
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: [SOLVED] How to output a range of values from arraylist and user input
I can think of those scenarios in my project. However, the exercise was limited to what it requested from me. I think this is the final solution to the exercise. However, time is against me to work on one project. I have been given around 120 projects for a short period of time.
More questions will be asked and I hope I won't be a burden to you
