Array List problem [message #1021992] Thu, 21 March 2013 04:03 Go to next message

[ALIGN=left]I am having a compile problem with the following line:

DoublyLinkedList<Integer> list = new DoublyLinkedList<Integer>();

//Error here-> the type DoublyLinkedList is not generic it cannot be parameterized with arguments

I was reading some of the past posts but couldnt figure out what my problem was?

I am uploading my file because pasting in makes the formatting look strange.

Hi,

Your class DoublyLinkedList is not generic but your class Node is, you need to put the generic "<E>" on DoublyLinkedList instead. You should have something like this:

package org.obeonetwork.pim.uml2.gen.java.services;

public class DoublyLinkedList<E> {

	class Node {

		// Node Data
		private E value;

		private Node prev;

		private Node next;

		// Node constructor
		Node(E value) {
			this.value = value;
		}

		Node(E value, Node prev, Node next) {
			this.value = value;
			setPrev(prev);
			setNext(next);
		}

		// Node Setter
		void setPrev(Node prev) {
			this.prev = prev;
		}

		void setNext(Node next) {
			this.next = next;
		}

		// Node Getter
		Node getPrev() {
			return prev;
		}

		Node getNext() {
			return next;
		}

		E getValue() {
			return value;
		}

		// <<List_data>>=
		private Node head = new Node(null);

		private Node tail = new Node(null);

		private int length = 0;

		// <<List_construct>>=
		{
			head.setPrev(null);
			head.setNext(tail);
			tail.setPrev(head);
			tail.setNext(null);
		}

		// <<List_get>>=
		public Node get(int index) throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {
			if (index < 0 || index > length) {
				throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException();
			} else {
				Node cursor = head;
				for (int i = 0; i < index; i++) {
					cursor = cursor.getNext();
				}
				return cursor;
			}
		}

		// <<List_remove>>=
		public E remove(int index) throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {
			if (index == 0) {
				throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException();
			} else {
				Node result = get(index);
				result.getNext().setPrev(result.getPrev());
				result.getPrev().setNext(result.getNext());
				length--;
				return result.getValue();
			}
		}

		// <<List_add>>=
		public void add(int index, E value) throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {
			Node cursor = get(index);
			Node temp = new Node(value);
			temp.setPrev(cursor);
			temp.setNext(cursor.getNext());
			cursor.getNext().setPrev(temp);
			cursor.setNext(temp);
			length++;
		}

		public void addHead(E value) {
			Node cursor = head;
			Node temp = new Node(value);
			temp.setPrev(cursor);
			temp.setNext(cursor.getNext());
			cursor.getNext().setPrev(temp);
			cursor.setNext(temp);
			length++;
		}

		public void addTail(E value) {
			Node cursor = tail.getPrev();
			Node temp = new Node(value);
			temp.setPrev(cursor);
			temp.setNext(cursor.getNext());
			cursor.getNext().setPrev(temp);
			cursor.setNext(temp);
			length++;
		}

		// <<List_utils>>=
		public int size() {
			return length;
		}

		public boolean isEmpty() {
			return length == 0;
		}

		@Override
		public String toString() {
			StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
			result.append("(head) - ");
			Node temp = head;
			while (temp.getNext() != tail) {
				temp = temp.getNext();
				result.append(temp.getValue() + " - ");
			}
			result.append("(tail)");
			return result.toString();
		}
	}

	// <<List_test>>=
	public static void main(String argv[]) {
		DoublyLinkedList<Integer> list = new DoublyLinkedList<Integer>(); // Error here-> the type
		// DoublyLinkedList is not generic
		// it cannot be parameterized with
		// arguments
		list.addHead(new Integer(1));
		list.addHead(new Integer(2));
		list.addTail(new Integer(9));
		list.addHead(new Integer(3));
		list.addTail(new Integer(11));
		list.add(2, new Integer(0));
		System.out.println(list);
		list.remove(list.size());
		System.out.println(list);
	}

}


Then you only have errors since the operations "addHead", "addTail", etc do not exists.

Hi Stephane,
Many thanks for correcting me and replying so quickly. I am new to Java and learning about linked lists.

May i ask what is wrong with the following line below:

My main area looks like:

public static void main(String argv[]) {
DoublyLinkedList<Integer> list = new DoublyLinkedList<Integer>(); // Error here-> the type
// DoublyLinkedList is not generic
// it cannot be parameterized with
// arguments
list.addHead(new Integer(1)); // ERROR ->The method addHead(Integer) is undefined for the type DoublyLinkedList<Integer>
list.addHead(new Integer(2)); // ERROR ->The method addHead(Integer) is undefined for the type DoublyLinkedList<Integer>
list.addTail(new Integer(9)); // ERROR ->The method addTail(Integer) is undefined for the type DoublyLinkedList<Integer>
list.addHead(new Integer(3)); // ERROR ->The method addHead(Integer) is undefined for the type DoublyLinkedList<Integer>
list.addTail(new Integer(11)); // ERROR ->The method addTail(Integer) is undefined for the type DoublyLinkedList<Integer>
list.add(2, new Integer(0)); // ERROR ->The method add(Integer) is undefined for the type DoublyLinkedList<Integer>
System.out.println(list);
list.remove(list.size()); //ERROR ->The method size() is undefined for the type DoublyLinkedList<Integer>
System.out.println(list);
}

My method in the Node Class had this method:

public void addHead(E value) {
Node cursor = head;
Node temp = new Node(value);
temp.setPrev(cursor);
temp.setNext(cursor.getNext());
cursor.getNext().setPrev(temp);
cursor.setNext(temp);
length++;
}

From face value it seems the code i copied from an internet site has integer as an argument inside main but the addHead() has an arg declared as (E value) in the method. So i dont understand what was the intent of the person who wrote this?

From my point of view i just want to understand how to fix this and learn about data structures and the errors i am finding.

By the way thank you for sharing a link to your blog. And there was another link. I learned your a very, very intelligent guy. I certainly appreciate being able to read about things you write.

Andrew

Not to rain on your parade, Andrew, but this forum is for questions
about Eclipse, not Java. You'll be better served in the following forums:

javaranch.com
jguru.com
stackoverflow.com

Thanks for your understanding.
