    Default Vectors

    I have to create a program which reads and processes an input file with account transactions ordered by transaction date
    and generates a report every time the date of the current transaction being processed is different than the last processed transaction

    This is what I have so far
    //importing packages needed to create class
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    //creating class account which will include constructors, accessors and mutator methods
    public class Account
    {
        //initializing variables
        private static int accountId;
        private static double balance;
     
        //default constructor
        public Account()
        {
            accountId = 0;
            balance = 0.0;
        }
        //constructor which will take in parameters 
        public Account(int accountId, double balance)
        {
            this.accountId = accountId;
            this.balance = balance;
        }
     
        //mutator method which will change variable accountId
        public void setId(int id)
        {
            accountId = id;
        }
     
        //accessor method which will return the value stored in Accountid
        public int getAccountId()
        {
            return accountId;
        }
     
        //mutator method which will change variable balance
        public void setBalance(double balance)
        {
            this.balance = balance;
        }
     
        //accesor method which will return the value stored in balance
        public double getBalance()
        {
            return balance;
        }
    }

    my main class
    //Mario Gutierrez, CS_2401, MWF 8:30 a.m.
    //importing packages needed to create class
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    /*this program will read and process an input file and generates a report every time
    **the date of the current transaction changes
    */
    public class BankAccount
    {
            private static char action;
            private static int acctId;
            private static long date;
            private static double bal;
            private static int count;
     
     
        //creating main method where report will be generated
        public static void main(String[] args)throws FileNotFoundException
        {
            //creating scanner which will read input file
            Scanner input = new Scanner(new FileReader("input.txt"));
            input.useDelimiter(",\\s*");
     
            //initializing variables
            Vector<String> bank = new Vector<String>();
     
          while(input.hasNext())
          {
              date = input.nextLong();
              acctId = input.nextInt();
              action = input.next().charAt(0);
              bal = input.nextDouble();
              System.out.print(date);
              System.out.print(" ");
              System.out.print(acctId);
              System.out.print(" ");
              System.out.print(action);
              System.out.print(" ");
              System.out.print(bal);
              System.out.println();
     
          }
          System.out.print(bank);
          input.close();
        }
    }

    Default Re: Vectors

    Please don't post the same question in multiple places.

    I'd recommend that you instead use an ArrayList. They both accomplish basically the same thing except vectors are thread-safe. If you want to use an ArrayList in a multi-threaded program, you can create a SynchronizedList from the ArrayList.

    To create a new ArrayList:

    // Vectors are pretty much the same, just replace ArrayList with Vector
    ArrayList<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    numbers.add(5); // add the value 5 to the end of the ArrayList

    All you need to change from the above code then is to replace every "ArrayList" with "Vector" and it should work.
