ArrayList search

[Molayo Decker]

Hi guys

I would like to use the updateItem to search through addLineItems to check if an Item named in updateItem(String itemName, int quantity, double price) can be found using the String itemName.
I haven't had any success. Can anyone help me

	
public void addLineItems(String itemName, int quantity, double price){
	    
		//this.itemName = itemName;
		
		
		myLineItem = new ArrayList();
		
		for (LineItem lineItem : myLineItem) {
			 ((List<LineItem>) lineItem).add(new LineItem(itemName,quantity,price));
		}
		
			
    }
	
	
	public void updateItem (String itemName, int quantity, double price){
		String search = Double.toString(addLineItems(itemName,quantity,price));
		myLineItem = new ArrayList(search);
		
		if (search.equalsIgnoreCase(search)){
			search = "found";
		}else{
			search = "Not found";
		}
		
	}

Sorry I don't understand. What are you trying to do? Search through a list of items, for an item with a particular itemName?

yes. I want to search a method with multiple parameter based on the variable name itemName

Please work out what that will return. It is quite deterministic.
