Question

Here’s my current situation:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;

import com.sun.xml.internal.ws.api.pipe.NextAction;

import static java.lang.System.*;

public class NumberAnalyzer
{
private ArrayList<Number> list;

public NumberAnalyzer()
{

}

public NumberAnalyzer(String numbers)
{
    String nums = numbers;
    Scanner chopper = new Scanner(nums);
    while(chopper.hasNext()){
        int num = chopper.nextInt();
        list.add(num);
    }
    list = 
}

How would I go about converting a string of numbers, say 5 12 9 6 1 4 8 6, and add them to this ArrayList<Number> that I have? Eclipse is stating that

The method add(int, Number) in the type ArrayList is not applicable for the arguments (int).

here are pastebin links to all the associated .java files:

Answer 1

The problem is that you have another class Number.
Change your code this way:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class NumberAnalyzer {

    private ArrayList<Number> list;

    public NumberAnalyzer() {
    }

    public NumberAnalyzer(String numbers) {
        list = new ArrayList<Number>();
        String nums = numbers;
        Scanner chopper = new Scanner(nums);
        while (chopper.hasNext()) {
            list.add(new Number(chopper.nextInt()));
        }
        chopper.close();
    }

}

In this way you are using you class Number, and not the default one.
