    Default Searching ArrayList<Objects> for a name?

    I am having problem passing a test code for name search, any mistakes!?

    public boolean hasMember(String name)
    {
    for(Membership member: members)
    {
    if (member.getName().equals(name));
    return true;
    }
    return false;
    }

    this is the test case:
    public void testhasMember()
    {
    assertFalse(club1.hasMember("Jack"));

    assertTrue(club2.hasMember("Jack"));
    assertTrue(club2.hasMember("Ianto"));
    assertTrue(club2.hasMember("Owen"));
    assertTrue(club2.hasMember("Rhys"));
    assertFalse(club2.hasMember("David"));
    }

    Hi JavaCloud.

    if (member.getName().equals(name)); <---- Stray semi colon!

    Best Regards,

    Chris

    Not very hard to do if you are using the -Xlint compiler option you get the following warning:
    TestCode15.java:167: warning: [empty] empty statement after if
    if (member.getName().equals(name));
                                      ^
    with this commandline:
    D:\Java\jdk1.7.0.7\bin\javac.exe -cp . -Xlint TestCode15.java
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
