    Default how to remove items of an arraylist

    hey guys,
    i got a little question about my code...
    does the code removes the int of the arraylist? and gives it a true value out if it is removed?
    	public boolean kL(int ktonummer){
    		if (finKntoIdex(ktonummer) > 0) { 
    			konten.remove(ktonummer);
    			return true;
    		}
    		else 
    		return false;
    	}
    	private int finKntoIdex(int ktonummer){
    		for(int i = 0;i<konten.size();i++){
    			if(konten.get(i).getKontonummer() == ktonummer){
    				return i;
    			}
    		}
    		return -1;
    	}
     
    private ArrayList<Konto> konten = new ArrayList<Konto>();

    Have you tried testing the kL() method to see what happens when it is executed?
    Create a small test program with an arraylist, call the kL() method to have it remove an element and then print out the arraylist to see if the element has been removed.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    public String toString(){
    return String.format("Kontonummer: %s, Nachname: %s" , kten.kontonummer + konten.nachname);


    }

    private ArrayList<Konto> kten = new ArrayList<Konto>();

    Default Re: how to remove items of an arraylist

    Are you saying the compiler can not find those variables?
    Some possible reasons:
    Are they defined?
    Did you spell the names correctly?
    Are the definitions in scope where you are trying to use them?

    Without seeing the source, I have no idea why.


    BTW what you posted is not the full text of the compiler's error messages.
    Here is a sample:
    TestSorts.java:138: cannot find symbol
    symbol  : variable var
    location: class TestSorts
             var = 2;
             ^

    Default Re: how to remove items of an arraylist

    yes they are in the right scope but not on the same class
    the first code is at the class bank.
    @Override
    public String toString(){
    return String.format("Kontonummer: %s, Nachname: %s" , kten.kontonummer + kten.nachname);


    }

    private ArrayList<Konto> kten = new ArrayList<Konto>();
    there i work with the arraylist for example
    public boolean kontoLoeschen(int ktonummer){

    if (findeKontoIndex(ktonummer) > 0) {
    kten.remove(ktonummer);
    return true;
    }
    else
    return false;
    or

    private int findeKontoIndex(int ktonummer){
    for(int i = 0;i<konten.size();i++){
    if(kten.get(i).getKtonummer() == ktonummer){
    return i;
    }
    }
    return -1;
    }

    }
    but i have declared it in a other class called kten or prson
    public String getNachname() {
    return nachname;
    }
