What is wrong with this code?

[Derek McDonald]

Ok

I am not having the best of days and I don't want to see any more errors.

Compiler Output

Code Where Errors are Located

 public void sortValues() throws IOException{
int i;
int j;
Iterator it = map.keySet().iterator();
String key = it.next().toString();
int value = Integer.parseInt(map.get(key).toString());
vector.remove(0);
vector.add(0,new Record(key,value));
while(it.hasNext()){
i = 0;

vector.add(0,new Record(key,value));
}
if(vector.get(i).getValue() >= value && value >= vector.get(j).getValue()){
vector.add(j,new Record(key,value));
}
i++;
j++;
}
}
}

Class being stored in the vectors elements

/**
public class Record{
String key = "";//String holding the key value.
int value = 0;//Integer to hold the value.
/** Constructs a new Record. */
public Record(String k, int v){
key = k;
value = v;
}
//Gets the key
public String getKey(){
return key;
}
//Get the value
public int getValue(){
return value;
}
}

The get() method of the Vector class returns an instance of class Object, you will need to cast this into an instance of Record before you call the getValue() method of the Record class.

[Derek McDonald]

how would I be able to do that???

[Nigel Browne]

Along the lines of

Record tmp = (Record)vector.get(0);
if (tmp.getValue() < value) .....

[Layne Lund]

Is this a class assigment where you have to write your own sort routine? If so, then ignore the rest of my message. However, if you aren't required to write this routine, you should use Collections.sort() instead.
