Question

I’m sorry if this is an easy question, but I can’t seem to call my one method with parameters from another class.

Normally if I were to call my method, I would do it by it like so.

Class1

public static void main(String [] args){
   Class2 class2Object = new Class2();
   class2Object.myMethod();
}

Class2

public void myMethod(){
  System.out.print("Hello");
}

The above is just an example, but if I had to pass a parameter into the myMethod method (for example an arrayList), how would I call it in my other class.

The actual method I need to call is below:

public void search(List<String> listOfWords) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException

Any help will be appreciated,
Regards.

Answer 1

You simply put a list in the arguments of the method when calling it:

List<String> someList = new ArrayList<String>();
//populate list if you want
class2Object.search(someList);

You would probably benefit from reading a tutorial on methods arguments.
