Question

OK, so here is my ArrayList:

private List<ClientThread> clients = new ArrayList<ClientThread>();

and here is what I am trying to do:
I am trying to remove the last known item from the ArrayList I posted above. I’m trying to do this with the code below:

    } catch(SocketException re) {


                            String hey = clients.get(clients.size());
                            ClientThread.remove(hey);
                            System.out.println(hey + " has logged out.");
                            System.out.println("CONNECTED PLAYERS: " + clients.size());
}

but I am getting this error:

C:\wamp\www\mystikrpg\Server.java:147: incompatible types

required: java.lang.String
                        String hey = clients.get(clients.size());
                                                ^

                                    ^
2 errors

What am I doing wrong?
It’s supposed to remove the last known item from my ArrayList.

Answer 1

It should be:

ClientThread hey = clients.get(clients.size() - 1);
clients.remove(hey);

Or you can do

clients.remove(clients.size() - 1);

The minus ones are because size() returns the number of elements, but the ArrayList’s first element’s index is 0 and not 1.
