The method add(String) is undefined for the type String










0















ArrayList<String> indirizzi = new ArrayList<String>();
for(int i=0; i<n; i++)
String ind = in.nextLine();
indirizzi.get(i).add(ind);




The method add(String) is undefined for the type String.




This program gives me the above error.



I don't understand why.

          get() returns a String in this case and then you call add() on the String returned by get(). The String class does not have an add() method, hence the undefined for type String error. I believe you simply wanted:



          indirizzi.add(ind);


          Which will add the user input to the List.



          If you want to add at a specific index then use the set() method:



          indirizzi.set(i, ind);


          Which will set ind to the i'th index of indirizzi

          • @user10610048 add() adds the element to the end of the list so if the List is empty, then it will already be setting the elements to the ith position. If not then check my edit about the set() method
