Insert method....

[billy ghot]

this is my method...

  
import java.util.ArrayList;
 
public class Insert{
 
public static void insert(ArrayList<Integer> A, int data)
{
 
for (int i=0; i<A.size(); i++)
{
if (data <= (Integer)A.get(i))
{
A.add(i,data);
break;
}
}
 
if (data > (Integer)A.get(A.size()-1))
{
A.add(data);
}
}
}
 

ok, in the main application, when i do...

ArrayList A = new ArrayList();
Insert(A,25);

the compiler says it cannot find Insert.

please help..
thanks justin billy ghot

java is case sensitive.

You need to call insert not Insert.

Your class name is Insert while method name is insert.

If you are calling insert from main method (or any method) of Insert class(or subclass), you can just say insert(A, 25)

If you are calling from any other class you need to specify Insert.insert(A, 25)

i do put insert, not Insert, that was my bad....and it still says it cannont find symbol insert...

Where is your main method? If it's in the same class it ought to compile. If not, you'll need to put the classname Insert.insert(...)

When I put main() in the same class, I got an index out of bounds a little later. I'll let you figure that one out.

Here's the main I added:

 
public static void main( String[] args )
{
    ArrayList a = new ArrayList();
    insert( a, 25 );
    System.out.println( a );
}
