Thread: Question about hashtable

I have a question about hash tables. How can I make it so it stores all of the user inputs? Need it to store how many the type of cars the person has. I did something similar using stack where i used push, but i dont think it works with hash. Also for some reason i get an error with this code, error in the cars.put, for some reason it does not recognize the .put. Thanks

import java.util.Hashtable;
......
......
Hashtable<String, String> cars = new Hashtable<String, String>();

cars.put("one", "toyota");

I can't see anything intrinsically wrong with the code you've posted... could you post the code in context as well as copy the full compiler error message?
