    Default What does this mean?

    My tutor said this as part of help for an assignment:

    Each state needs a visited arraylist.

    Assume a state is say state(string, int);

    How do I do this and what does he mean?

    His notes are useless and everyone is stuck!

    How do I create an arrayList with the same name and attach them to lots of states?

    Sorry, but the post makes little sense to me. Define 'state'. Define 'attach'. Define 'arraylist with the same name'.

    makes little sense to me either, that is why i am confused. i think state is a node (on a map) state(string, int). when each node is reached it needs to get its own arrayList of all the previous nodes visited and store them.

    I recommend getting some clarification from your tutor. Unfortunately there is little context for us to try and point you in the right direction - but you never know, perhaps another member might be able to shed some light.
