Question

I’m doing some past exam papers in preparation for a forthcoming exam, and have come across this question, and I’m not sure how to solve it, I’ve written a for-each loop with an if statement but I’m not sure what the header would be and what to return. Any help would be great. Thanks.

The question:

An ArrayList named classList is used
to store Student objects.

Write code for a method that
determines whether or not data for a
student with given forename and
surname is present in classList.

Answer 1

Something like:

boolean lala( Student given ) {
  for( Student s : classList ) {
    if( s.getForename().equals( given.getForename() ) &&
        s.getSurname().equals( given.getSurname() ) ) {
      return true;
    }
  }

  return false;
}
