I'm attempting to search through an object to see if a user's input matches what the program has stored, but I cannot figure out a way to make it work. I attempted to see if the value inputed by a user matched that of one in the userID spot for any of these Employee objects, but that didn't work. For example, here is the object:
Employee{userID='u1234567', userSalary=65000, userType=true}
Employee{userID='u1938562', userSalary=100000, userType=true}
Employee{userID='u1047218', userSalary=125000, userType=false}
Employee{userID='u1530078', userSalary=55000, userType=true}
Employee{userID='u1088621', userSalary=78400, userType=true}
Employee{userID='u2405234', userSalary=105000, userType=false}
Employee{userID='u1142592', userSalary=87500, userType=true}
Employee{userID='u1000092', userSalary=235000, userType=true}
Employee{userID='u1220433', userSalary=450000, userType=false}
Employee{userID='u1082304', userSalary=95000, userType=true}
My first function attempts to match the user's input with one of the userID's, but like I said it only works with the "u1234567"'s line. I have been attempting this for quite a while now, but I am relatively new to java and so I'm still learning. Below is my code, and where I commented out the "This is where I'm trying to loop through objects to look for a match" is where I would think to place this code, but I would greatly appreciate any feedback or better suggestions.

employees is an arraylist of Employee, you can only use .get to get by a specific index. You will need to use something like javas stream filter or a different method like in this tutorial.
ArrayList<Employee> employeesWithASpecificID = users.stream()
.filter(employee -> employee.getUserID() == userID)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
This code prompts the user asking their name and the school they attend. Storing both into a map. I then want to print out the school and the name of every person that attended that school in this format.
School : name, name , name. /new line
School : name, name , name etc.
.
.
.
However I keep getting null values for the name when trying to print
here is my code:
import java.util.*;
public class MapsAndArrayList {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
String school;
String name;
//create the map with Arraylist as key value
Map<String, ArrayList<String>> sAtt = new HashMap<String, ArrayList<String>>();
do {
System.out.println("Enter your name: (type \"done\" when done)");
name = sc.nextLine().toUpperCase();
System.out.println("Enter the school you attend: ");
school = sc.nextLine().toUpperCase();
if (!sAtt.containsKey(school)) { // if school is not already in list, add it
ArrayList<String> names = new ArrayList<String>();
//add name to arraylist of names
names.add(name);
sAtt.put(school, names);
} else { // if school is in list just add name to list
ArrayList<String> names = sAtt.get(school);
names.add(name);
sAtt.replace(school, names);
}
} while (!(name.equals("DONE") || school.equals("DONE")));
// remove done from the list
sAtt.remove("DONE");
System.out.println("Here are the schools attended along with who goes there: ");
for (String s : sAtt.keySet()) {
System.out.println("\t" + s + ": " + sAtt.get(school));
}
}
}
The last for loop is using wrong key. Following would be right for loop:
for (String s : sAtt.keySet()) {
System.out.println("\t" + s + ": " + sAtt.get(s));
}
You are getting null because school variable has DONE as key which is removed in earlier statement.
Also, I would suggest using multi-map for this purpose.

You have a number of issues you need to overcome...
For each line, you need to determine the type of data the line represents
You need some way to keep track of the data you've loaded (of the clients and their pets)
You need some way to associate each pet with it's owner
The first could be done in a number of ways, assuming we can change the data. You could make the first token meaningful (human, pet); you could use JSON or XML instead. But lets assume for the moment, you can't change the format.
The key difference between the two types of data is the number of tokens they contain, 7 for people, 5 for pets.
while (input.hasNext()) {
String text = input.nextLine();
String[] parts = text.split(",");
if (parts.length == 7) {
// Parse owner
} else if (parts.length == 5) {
// Parse pet
} // else invalid data
For the second problem you could use arrays, but you would need to know in advance the number of elements you will need, the number of people and for each person, the number of pets
Oddly enough, I just noticed that the last element is an int and seems to represent the number of pets!!
Morely,Robert,123 Anywhere Street,15396,4,234.56,2
------------^
But that doesn't help us for the owners.
For the owners, you could use a List of some kind and when ever you create a new Human, you would simply add them to the List, for example...
List<Human> humans = new ArrayList<>(25);
//...
if (parts.length == 7) {
// Parse the properties
human = new Human(...);
humans.add(human);
} else if (parts.length == 5) {
Thirdly, for the pets, each Pet should associated directly with the owner, for example:
Human human = null;
while (input.hasNext()) {
String text = input.nextLine();
String[] parts = text.split(",");
if (parts.length == 7) {
//...
} else if (parts.length == 5) {
if (human != null) {
// Parse pet properties
Pet pet = new Pet(name, type, age, date1, date2);
human.add(pet);
} else {
throw new NullPointerException("Found pet without human");
}
}
Okay, so all this does, is each time we create a Human, we keep a reference to the "current" or "last" owner created. For each "pet" line we parse, we add it to the owner.
Now, the Human class could use either a array or List to manage the pets, either will work, as we know the expected number of pets. You would then provide getters in the Human class to get a reference to the pets.
Because out-of-context code can be hard to read, this is an example of what you might be able to do...
Scanner input = new Scanner(new File("data.txt"));
List<Human> humans = new ArrayList<>(25);
Human human = null;
while (input.hasNext()) {
String text = input.nextLine();
String[] parts = text.split(",");
if (parts.length == 7) {
String firstName = parts[0];
String lastName = parts[1];
String address = parts[2];
int cid = Integer.parseInt(parts[3]);
int vists = Integer.parseInt(parts[4]);
double balance = Double.parseDouble(parts[5]);
int other = Integer.parseInt(parts[6]);
human = new Human(firstName, lastName, address, cid, vists, balance, other);
humans.add(human);
} else if (parts.length == 5) {
if (human != null) {
String name = parts[0];
String type = parts[1];
int age = Integer.parseInt(parts[2]);
String date1 = parts[3];
String date2 = parts[4];
Pet pet = new Pet(name, type, age, date1, date2);
human.add(pet);
} else {
throw new NullPointerException("Found pet without human");
}
}
}
What about using split() function instead of using StringTokenizer?
Say, You can change your first while loop like below:
while (input.hasNext()) {
// StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(input.nextLine(), ",");
String[] tokens = input.nextLine().split(",");
if (tokens.length == 7) {
h = new Human();
h.setLastName(tokens[0]);
h.setFirstName(tokens[1]);
h.setAddress(tokens[2]);
h.setCiD(Integer.parseInt(tokens[3]));
h.setVisits(Integer.parseInt(tokens[4]));
h.setBalance(Double.parseDouble(tokens[5]));
} else {
p = new Pet(tokens[0], tokens[1], Integer.parseInt(tokens[2]), tokens[3], tokens[4]);
}
}
And for keeping track of which pet belongs to which human, you can append an arrayList of type Pet in Human class like below:
ArrayList<Pet> pets = new ArrayList<>();
And say you have another ArrayList of type Human named humans in the main function. So, you could append in if block like:
humans.add(h);
and in the else section, you could append in else block:
humans.get(humans.size()-1).pets.add(p);
You can try something like this -
Populate a map and then using that you can assign values according to your requirement.

very new to Java and I have a question
I was given an text file, and asked to find the employee who earn the most, and print out their info (fName, Lname, ID)
the text file was like so:
Date of birth fName lName wage hr work emp ID
12/03/1929 Detzk Fyshe 37 49 07036310484
04/17/1930 Cauus Walden 38 52 63612537553
07/12/1930 Barth Harling 43 72 42101524036
07/16/1930 Bartl Barnhill 43 62 48621748867
I manage to find the max wage. But have no idea how to print out the info
Here my code so far:
public static void main(String[] args) {
File inFile = new File ("dataSet.txt");
ArrayList <String> inData = new ArrayList <String>();
String strline;
try
{
FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(inFile);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (fstream));
while ((strline = br.readLine()) != null)
{
strline = strline.trim();
if ((strline.length()!=0)) inData.add(strline);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Error CANNOT FIND FILE!");
}
// Max wage finder *start*
int maxWage=0;
for (int i=0; i<inData.size(); i++){
String [] word = inData.get(i).split(" ");
int wage=Integer.parseInt (word[3]);
int hrWork=Integer.parseInt (word[4]);
int earn = wage*hrWork;
if (earn>maxWage){
maxWage=earn;
}
}
System.out.println("Max Wage in $:"+maxWage);
//max wage finder *end*
If you're reading in employee data, then an object-oriented solution to the problem is to create an Employee class with strongly typed (dates as Dates, and integers as ints) attributes that model the contents of the file.
In addition to the instance variables that would store the actual data of each Employee, you might want to override the toString() method in the class so that the employee information can be easily output, for example to System.out. Also, you would need a getter for the "total salary" of an employee (which you calculate with wage * hrWork) so that the salaries of two employees can be compared externally, e.g. by a Comparator.
All in all, the code could look like this for the relevant parts:
private static final DateFormat FORMATTER = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
...
List<Employee> employees = new ArrayList<Employee>();
...
// within the loop that reads the file:
String[] columns = strline.split(" ");
employees.add(new Employee(
FORMATTER.parse(columns[0]), // DOB,
columns[1], // first name
columns[2], // last name
Integer.parseInt(columns[3]), // wage
Integer.parseInt(columns[4]), // hr
columns[5]) // employee id
);
...
// after all lines have been read, output the employee with largest wage
Employee earnsMost = Collections.max(employees, new Comparator<Employee>() {
#Override
public int compare(Employee e1, Employee e2) {
return e1.getTotalSalary() - e2.getTotalSalary();
}
});
System.out.println(earnsMost + " earns most.");
I am working on a code that reads data about customers from an input file and stores them into a linkedlist of objects of customer. the linked list implementation is not the JVM one. while reading the data using the readFile(), it's giving me a NumberFormatException: For input string: "Ben Affleck" error. here's the method. the basic idea of the logic is to read the first record initially and set it as the head of the linked list and then read the subsequent records. the error occurs during the if conditional when it checks for duplicate account id's. the way i coded it was if the id's match then skip those many number of lines to the next record. the Acd() method enters items in ascending order in the linkedlist. help would be greatly appreciated. kindly let me know if the question is unclear.

The first record has more lines (it has a "Fixed Daily Interest") than the second, so you may think you are reading in a String but it is actually a Double (or vice versa). So you will need to modify your code to either take into consideration this extra line or remove it from the first record as your code is expecting int, String, String, String, String, double, String whereas the first record is int, String, String, String, String, double, String, double.
This is not really the optimum solution to this problem, as you are repeating a chunk of code. It really could be in a single loop I think. It is definitely a type conversion problem like I initially said. You are attempting to get an integer out of a String that does not contain a number. Java is correctly telling you that there is no parsable Integer.
I will try and compile your code and see if I can pinpoint the exact error but what I have written above should give you enough of an idea to find out where the breakage is. Basically you think you are reading one line of your input file whereas you are actually on the line above or below.
Edit: Well I've hacked up your code and got it to compile. From an initial inspection it looks like that Matt Damon is OK but it is the second loop that is incorrect. You have an code that looks like this:
while (scan.hasNext()&& count>0){
Customer item = new Customer();
Node<Customer> temp = new Node<Customer>(item);
String[] st = scan.nextLine().split("=");
....
while(counter!=null){
if(Integer.parseInt(st[1].trim())== review.getItem(i).get_accountid()){
...
} else {
break;
}

The account number st[1].trim() (this is 126 from your input file by the way) does not match since Matt Damon is the only one so far, so the code breaks out of the inner while condition and then proceeds to read the next line - "Ben Affleck". Then it enters the inner while loop again and tried to do Integer.parseInt on "Ben Affleck" which as you see is a NumberFormatException.
Edit 2:
Having looked over your other questions it looks like you are getting the SO community to write a lot of the application for you! It is clear you are learning Java but this may not be the best way to learn Java in my opinion! Don't worry though, we've all been there :-)
Without stepping through your exact code I cannot really answer the question exactly. Note that it cannot be compiled standalone the form given above since it is missing dependent classes, a main() and import statements.
So my answer is going to be mostly pseudocode for your entire readFile function since I see no reason why the first record should be read in separately and I think the function is overly complex for what it needs to do.
Scanner scan = new Scanner (new File (filename));
// maintain collecction of Account Number <-> Account details
Map<Integer, Customer> accounts = new HashMap<Integer, Customer>();
String[] aLine = null;
while (scan.hasNext()) {
// read all of one account details
aLine= scan.nextLine().split("=");
int accId = Integer.parseInt(aLine[1].trim());
aLine= scan.nextLine().split("=");
String name = aLine[1].toUpperCase().trim();
etc...
String accType =(a[1].trim());
if (accType.equals("Saving")) {
...
} else {
...
}
// create Integer version of the accId to use as the key (the lookup)
// into the collection of details
Integer key = new Integer(accId);
if (accounts.containsKey(key)) {
// already added to the collection so
// no need to create a new Customer
} else {
// create new Customer
Customer c = new Customer();
c.set_account_id(accId);
etc...
// and add to the collection
c.put(key, c);
}
// skip over blank lines
while(!scan.nextLine().equals(" ")) {
scan.nextLine();
}
}
You may want to add some constraints to the while condition to limit the number of accounts added (as you have that in your existing code). For example:
while (scan.hasNext() && accounts.size() < 30) {
Hope this helps!
