Question

I am trying to add a string to an ArrayList in Java, but I can’t seem to get it to work.

Currently, I have the following code:

List food_names = new ArrayList();

food_names.add("pizza");

Why do I get these errors:

• Syntax error on token “”pizza””, delete this token
• Syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s)

Answer 1

You have to use food_names.add("pizza") in function, for example:

public void AddFood()
{
  food_names.add("pizza");
}

Hope helps
