    Default ArrayList Help

    I am sort of a hole on how to add miles and gas to the arraylist. Can i do something like this

    ArrayList<List> auto = new ArrayList<List>(6732, 83942, "Crown Victoria")

    is that a good start
    Below holds my code

     
     
    public class Garage {
     
    	private String model;
    	private int milesDriven;
    	private int GallonsGas;
     
    	public Garage(String ModelCar, int MilesDrove, int AmtGallonsGas)
    	{
    		model= ModelCar;
    		milesDriven= MilesDrove;
    		GallonsGas= AmtGallonsGas;
    	}
     
    	public String getModelCar()
    	{
    		String returnModelCar= model;
    		return returnModelCar;
    	}
     
    	public int getMilesDrove()
    	{
    		int returnMilesDrove= milesDriven;
    		return returnMilesDrove;
    	}
     
    	public int getAmtGallonsGas()
    	{
    		int returnAmtGallonsGas= GallonsGas;
    		return returnAmtGallonsGas;
    	}
     
     
    }

    Study the ArrayList API. First note there is not a constructor that accepts the format you are trying to create. Seems to me you wish to create a new Garage object, then add that to the ArrayList (parametized with Garage).
    ArrayList<Garage> list = new ArrayList<Garage>();
    list.add(new Garage(...parameters to create a new garage go here...));

    No, but you could create 3 parallel array lists that store them.

    Could be done this way as well, but java is object oriented and if those data pieces should be associated with one another, creating a single object to add to the list would be more appropriate.
